SONG: TO-MORROW, by FLORENCE EARLE COATES First Line: The robin chants when the thrush is dead Last Line: Are sweet as the days that are over! | |||
THE robin chants when the thrush is dumb, Snow smooths a bed for the clover, Life flames anew, and days to come Are sweet as the days that are over. The tide that ebbs by the moon flows back, Faith builds on the ruins of sorrow, The halcyon flutters in winter's track, And night makes way for the morrow. And ever a strain, of joys the sum, Sings on in the heart of the lover -- In death sings on -- that days to come Are sweet as the days that are over! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AGAINST THE GATE OF LIFE by FLORENCE EARLE COATES AN ADIEU by FLORENCE EARLE COATES BUFFALO by FLORENCE EARLE COATES BY THE CONEMAUGH by FLORENCE EARLE COATES CAPTAIN GUYNEMER by FLORENCE EARLE COATES COLUMBUS by FLORENCE EARLE COATES CRADLE SONG by FLORENCE EARLE COATES DEATH by FLORENCE EARLE COATES DREYFUS by FLORENCE EARLE COATES EDMUND CLARENCE STEADMAN by FLORENCE EARLE COATES HELEN KELLER WITH A ROSE by FLORENCE EARLE COATES IN WAR-TIME (AN AMERICAN HOMEWARD-BOUND) by FLORENCE EARLE COATES |
