In order to take a look at paraphrasing this 14 lines, I
am going to break it into 4 sections: 1. the first 4 lines, 2. the next 4 lines, 3. the
third 4 lines, and 4. the last two lines.
1. During the
lonely times in life when I realize how low I am in the eyes of men, my own eyes, and my
own luck in this world, I pray to God and I curse
myself.
2. I compare myself to one who has a better
outlook, a better look, more friends, a better job, and better talents, wishing in my
job and life I could have such things.
3. In the midst of
these despressing thoughts about myself, I begin to think about you [insinuating a
lover], and that thought lifts me up like an early morning songbird lifts their voice,
making me want to sing praise to God.
4. The chance to
remember how you love me makes my state much better than I thought it was and I would
never want to change my life since I have you.
