THE NEW YEAR, by HORATIO NELSON POWERS First Line: A flower unblown: a book unread Last Line: Beyond tomorrow's mystic gates. Variant Title(s): The Year Ahead Subject(s): Holidays; New Year | ||||||||
A flower unblown; a book unread; A tree with fruit unharvested; A path untrod; a house whose rooms Lack yet the heart's divine perfumes: A landscape whose wide border lies In silent shade, 'neath silent skies; A treasure with its gifts concealed -- This is the year that for you waits Beyond tomorrow's mystic gates. | 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 |
