The Nightingale And Glow-Worm Comments

The philosophy of coexistence beautifully unfolded through the equally beautiful story of nightingale and glow warm. A great classic of the day.

Brothers should not war with brothers but live peacefully to sing and shine. For everyone, God has given a gift to excel. Discover yours and excel. Beautiful poem.

Cowper was a very talented man.

Previous to reading this poem, I only knew Cowper from his hymns. This poem, for me, is delightful with its story and its application. And his assertion at the end affirms Jesus’ beatitude that the peacemakers will be called the children of God. -GK

But sing and shine by sweet consent, Till life's poor transient night is spent, .../// brilliantly penned

A great motivational and inspiring poem: I quote Respecting in each other's case The gifts of nature and of grace.

This is very inspiring indeed for the substance of the poem signally succeeds of its purpose as it carries its own moral with it, ........thanks for sharing

A great call to sing and shine. The message persists now, so many decades later.

Indeed peaceful life is good for brothers to live singing and shining as night gales and glowworms respect each other realizing God given gifts to them for wise use to live nice life in the world ever!

Such a great poem by William Cowper...................

A Nightingale that all day long Had cheered the village with his song, ...... nightingale softens its surrounding singing.........

Beautiful lyrical poem motivating us to live in co-existence with fellow beings and enjoy 'The gifts of nature and of grace'. The following quote underlines the central theme of the poem: For 'twas the self-same power divine Taught you to sing, and me to shine,

The ultimate aim should be peace. Lovely verse

I like his sermon couched in lovely verse, Utopian message that given human nature will never come to pass.

A beautiful message, especially in this day and age when we are trying to combat terrorism. Why can't we all just get along? Or as Ratnakr Mandlik put it, live and let live.
