Reread these lines from the poem. and wake to the farm forever fled from the childless land. oh as i was young and easy in the mercy of his means, time held me green and dying though i sang in my chains like the sea. how do these lines reflect the theme that the happiness of childhood is fleeting? they show that the speaker feels like being an adult is like dying or being shackled. they show that his happy times on the farm seem like a dream to the speaker now. they show that the speaker will never see the farm in the same way he did as a child. they show that the speaker thinks time was merciful to allow him to become an adult.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
