MOTHER'S WAY, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: The way may be long from that land of song Last Line: And mothers will find a way. Subject(s): Mothers | ||||||||
The way may be long from that land of song, That country of endless day, But far or near, I have never a fear But mother will find a way. They will want her there in a mansion fair, But ah! she will say them nay, And out of that joy to the heart of her boy My mother will find a way. She will hasten back on the starry track, She will neither faint nor stay; Through whatever wild, to her longing child My mother will find a way. They were worn and sore in the days of yore, Those feet of mutable clay; Now on wings of white in untiring flight My mother will cleave her way. I shall know it well when she comes to dwell -- For a year or a month or a day; No fragment of speech my senses may reach, But mother will find a way. Sad things she will see when she comes to me, My sins -- a wretched array; But I'm sure of her will to believe in me still -- And mothers will find a way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY MOTHER'S HANDS by ANDREW HUDGINS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS IN THE 25TH YEAR OF MY MOTHER'S DEATH by JUDY JORDAN THE PAIDLIN' WEAN by ALEXANDER ANDERSON BLASTING FROM HEAVEN by PHILIP LEVINE A BATTLE SONG (WRITTEN IN THE WORLD WAR) by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
