TO MARY CHURCH TERRELL - LECTURER, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: A pioneer, she blazed a trail of light Last Line: And life's fruition is its vital dream! Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Terrell, Mary Church (1863-1954) | |||
A pioneer, she blazed a trail of light Through murky shadows, with a lithesome tread Unto those forums, where Hope's beams are shed: Straight through the mighty cordon of the night, Rapt with a vision, soul-born, clear and bright, Leaving the South of frigid wrong, she sped Into the North, where hearts glow warm instead, A people's tragedy to there recite. Hope's liquid pipings lift their tender lay, Morning is waking, flushed with rosy gleam, Night with its shadow winds with yesterday Adown the world-way as an inky stream, Seed time and harvest deftly interplay, And Life's fruition is its vital dream! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SONG OF THE SINNER by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE MEASURE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE RETURN (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON WELT by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE, MY LITTLE ONE' by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A BIT OF SKY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A DIM DOORWAY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A PARADOX by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A SONG OF COURAGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON AFTERGLOW by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ALIENS (TO YOU - EVERYWHERE!
