NEW YEAR'S MOTTOES: 12, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Poet's Biography First Line: The future! Who may lift the veil Last Line: It shall be as the master saith. Subject(s): Holidays; New Year | ||||||||
THE future! who may lift the veil And read its yet unwritten tale? But sorrow and joy alike we leave In the Hand that doeth all things well, And calmly from that Hand receive All that each coming year may tell. We would not ask of life or death, It shall be as the Master saith. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEW YEAR'S POEM by MARGARET AVISON A SPEED OF HISTORY by MARGARET AVISON NEW YEAR'S DAY by DAVID LEHMAN LINES FOR THE NEW YEAR by JULIE CARR I AM RUNNING INTO A NEW YEAR by LUCILLE CLIFTON FOR THE NEW YEAR (2) by ROBERT CREELEY CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
