THIS LITTLE MOMENT, by SEYMOUR GORDDEN LINK First Line: And though black shadows press about my head Last Line: Must lose itself in myriad bright tomorrows. | |||
And though black shadows press about my head And the unstarred night wrap suffocating sleeves Around my throat; and though my dreams be dead And all my glittering hopes prove sneaking thieves That steal my strength away ... this hour shall pass; This day that drains my faith shall live to be Dimly recalled as through a clouded glass, While the wings of brighter hopes blur wildly free. For there are rhythms here in life as well As in the poet's line, and the tides come in And the tides go out, and even as they fell The bold suns rise, and from night the days begin. This little moment when I nurse my sorrows Must lose itself in myriad bright tomorrows. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NATURAL HISTORY by MOTHER GOOSE THE GARDEN by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON BEAUTIFUL SNOW by JOHN WHITAKER WATSON MOVE UPWARD by ALEXANDER ANDERSON A SALON SCENE by ANTON ALEXANDER VON AUERSPERG SPLENDID ISOLATION; A MORAL FROM LEXINTON, 1775 by KATHARINE LEE BATES RETREATS by CARRIE ADAMS BERRY |
