THE LAND OF HOPE-TO-BE, by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE Poet's Biography First Line: There's a way to happiness Last Line: By the sleepy streams. Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares | ||||||||
THERE'S a way to happiness Up the road of Dreams, Where my soul goes wayfaring By the sleepy streams. Heart that sends your memories In the shape of song, To the land of Hope-to-Be, Is the journey long? Nay, companion of my house, In the longest flight, Distance in desire is drowned As the day in night. Heart and soul go wayfaring Up the road of Dreams, To the land of Hope-to-Be By the sleepy streams. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SCINTILLA by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE |
