FICKLE HOPE, by HARRISON SMITH MORRIS Poet's Biography First Line: Hope, is this thy hand Last Line: Wilt flee, or wilt thou stay? | ||||||||
HOPE, is this thy hand Lies warm as life in mine? Is this thy sign Of peace none understand? What! art thou not steadfast? From off the blue air's beach Wilt lean and reach The price of pity past?
