LIFE AND YOU, by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN First Line: Ask much of life Last Line: Her golden key. Subject(s): Birth; Future Life; Child Birth; Midwifery; Retribution; Eternity; After Life | ||||||||
Ask much of Life; Nor falter in your plea. Be bold; for Life Brief segment Of Eternity Grants eagerly to all Who unafraid, Make great demands. No craven suppliant She heeds; for lo, Withdrawn she stands, With troubled eye, When timorous souls (For trivial things) Their birthright Would deny. Then greatly dare; Make regal plea; Life yields the bold Her golden key. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IKON: THE HARROWING OF HELL by DENISE LEVERTOV LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR UNABLE TO FIND by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS 3 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 1 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 2 by HAYDEN CARRUTH WRITING IN THE AFTERLIFE by BILLY COLLINS BALLADE OF MID-WINTER NIGHTS by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN |
