TWO ROADS, by LORNA TALLENT KIDWELL First Line: There were two roads for me, one a silver ribbon bright Last Line: Trudge with stubborn purpose -- new hope with each new dawn? | |||
There were two roads for me, one a silver ribbon bright, Glowing in the daytime, shining in the night. On this road there traveled millions every day Seeking pleasant friendships and the easy way. Paths time-worn and certain, lives sure to be gay; So why should I, I wonder, go the other way? Go the way through mountains, tangled brush and wood, Stand in lonely hollows where but few have stood; Trudge with feet too weary almost to carry on, Trudge with stubborn purpose -- new hope with each new dawn? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LATE LOVE by LORNA TALLENT KIDWELL WHAT OUR EYES BEHOLD by LORNA TALLENT KIDWELL EVENING SONG OF THE THOUGHTFUL CHILD by KATHERINE MANSFIELD AGAINST THE REST OF THE YEAR by JAMES GALVIN LIMBO by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A COUNTRY BURIAL by EMILY DICKINSON TO HIS MISTRESS OBJECTING TO HIM NEITHER TOYING OR TALKING by ROBERT HERRICK ON A PICTURE OF LEANDER by JOHN KEATS |
