This is the anniversary of the day Of days, for us, when we with faith and hope Fared forth together; solemn and yet gay We faced the future, for life's upward slope Was joyous going, and we never thought Then, that there might be worries -- hours of pain And sleepless nights that left one overwrought -- That loss would often come instead of gain. But looking back, the time has not seemed long, Although the road, for us, was sometimes rough. . . We have grown quiet and the buoyant song Once in our hearts sings low, and yet enough Of loveliness still lives to make amend To us, for all the ills life chose to send. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEN KARSHOOK'S WISDOM by ROBERT BROWNING FAREWELL TO LOVE by JOHN DONNE HAILSTORM IN MAY by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS CIRCE by AUGUSTA DAVIES WEBSTER AN ARMY CORPS ON THE MARCH by WALT WHITMAN SPRING WATER by KENNETH SLADE ALLING |
