Thank God for Vision of the brighter day, That dawns at last beyond this rough red way! New life is there for those who dare, -- A life that all these sufferings shall repay; -- A life set free from all the grosser things That warped our souls and bound the Spirit's wings, -- An entrance fair to larger air, And certitude of nobler prosperings. Only have vision and bold enterprise! No task too great for men of unsealed eyes; The Future stands with outstretched hands, Press on and claim its high supremacies! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOURNING GARMENT: THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SHEPHERD AND HIS WIFE by ROBERT GREENE THE LAY OF THE LOVELORN; PARODY OF TENNYSON'S 'LOCKSLEY HALL' by THEODORE MARTIN ROCK OF AGES' by EDWARD H.
