TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY, by ANONYMOUS Last Line: Do we need such shadows / here in life? Subject(s): Travel | |||
'Tis a little journey This we walk; Hardly time for murmurs -- Time for talk. Yet we learn to quarrel And to hate; Afterward regret it When too late. Now and then 'tis sunshine -- Sometimes dark; Sometimes care and sorrow Leave their mark. Yet we walk the pathway Side by side; Where so many others Lived and died. We can see the moral, Understand; Yet we walk not always Hand in hand. Why must there be hatred? Greed and strife? Do we need such shadows Here in life? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
