Question

what is difference between the plate of gold and abou ben adhem by leigh hunt

Answer 1

Abu Ben Adhem and Plate of Gold are one of the best poems that highlight the importance of service and love to humanity. Both poems convey the same message.

In Abu Ben Adhem the angel confirms to Abu Ben Adhem that his name is in the book in which are the names of those whom God loves; Abu is ecstatic to know his name on the top.  

In the poem Plate of Gold, the heaven’s gift is also for the peasant who loves his brethren and sisters sincerely.  

In both the poems the true lovers of mankind are rewarded by heaven and God.
