IF we only knew what the others know Who have trod life's path to the evening dew And the solemn dark of the closing night If we only knew! If we only knew, on the waking morn, Where the broad path leads, where the roses strew, Or the rocky road and the piercing thorn If we only knew! If we only knew't were weal or woe, If't were joy or pain in the parting view Of the things that are, as the soul takes flight If we only knew! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW DO YOU KNOW? by EVE MERRIAM ENLIGHTENMENT by JOSEPHINE MILES PHYSIOLOGUS by JOSEPHINE MILES A COLLEGELANDS CATECHISM by PAUL MULDOON THE BEAR AND THE MAN by ROBERT BLY A PARIS BLACKBIRD by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE LIGHT THAT CAME TO LUCILLE CLIFTON by LUCILLE CLIFTON THE CLOUDS OF MAGELLAN (APHORISMS OF MR.
