OUR JUNIORS, by ANNA M. ALLEN First Line: They set a light upon the hill Last Line: Upon the hill a beacon light. Subject(s): Courage; Light; Youth; Valor; Bravery | ||||||||
They set a light upon the hill To aid the flier in the night; 'Tis youth who flies across the skies Guided by this beacon light. We placed a light upon the hill, That light is youth with all its beauty; 'Tis courage wins when life is new And ever filled with sense of duty. The torch was handed on to one Who handed on a lantern bright, And now in place of this there gleams Upon the hill a beacon light. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNLESS IT WAS COURAGE by MARVIN BELL THE QUALITY OF COURAGE by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ON THE OREGON COAST; FOR WILLIAM STAFFORD by ROBERT BLY WORDS WITH WALLACE STEVENS by ROBERT BLY BUFFALO CLOUDS OVER THE MAESTRO HOON by NORMAN DUBIE A SONG OF COURAGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE AUDACIOUS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON OH, THE WATER by DORIANNE LAUX |
