You need to get the indentations in place. The first four lines are set up so that they move forward from the left margin:

In the pathway of the sun,

In the footsteps of the breeze,

Where the world and sky are one,

He shall ride the silver seas,

He shall cut the glittering wave.

I shall sit at home and rock;

Rise, to heed a neighbor’s knock;

Brew my tea, and snip my thread;

Bleach the linen for my bed.

They will call him brave.

typesetting from Penguin’s “The Portable Dorothy Parker”

Parker’s poem is an extended allusion to Homer’s Odyssey, in which Penelope, wife of Odysseus, famously remains faithful to her husband for over twenty years during his service in the Trojan War and arduous journey home to Ithaca. While Odysseus is away, Penelope must use her cunning to fight off 108 suitors trying to claim his throne

answer: common sense was the pamphlet that thomas paine used to convince reluctant americans to abandon the goal of reconciling with britain and to accept that independence was the only option to preserve their liberty.
