LILIES: 12. 'YET I ENDURE.', by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) First Line: Yet independent, fearless, I endure Last Line: I kiss thee coming all that woe to share. | |||
Yet independent, fearless, I endure.— I stand beneath God's night with lonely head And watch the stars like one already dead, Or one whom only death's white touch can cure. My footstep through the dark supremely sure Sounds. Lo! above the hills my dawn is red, And soon my fair last love-word will be said, And no more will soft lips of earth allure. Because I face the terror of the night Alone,—and let God's dark sing through my hair Unflinching, smiling as his arrows smite; Because in silence sorrow I can bear; Therefore it is that with divine delight I kiss thee coming all that woe to share. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A PRAYER by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) A VINDICATION by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) AN ACTOR'S REMINISCENCES by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) AUTUMN MESSAGES by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) ENVOI: DEATH (1) by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) ENVOI: DEATH (2) by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) FOR EVER AND EVERMORE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) IF ONLY THOU ART TRUE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) LILIES: 1.
