FAITH, by GRACE EVELYN BROWN First Line: I do not know when I shall go on - on Last Line: Reveals a paradise that gave it birth? Subject(s): Future Life; Nature; Retribution; Eternity; After Life | ||||||||
I do not know when I shall go onon. Some pass like falling pink-cupped buds in spring. Some stay on to the end, like forms that cling After November's russet leaves are gone. Nor what mysterious gifts await me there, Whether a meadow filled with asphodel, A milk-white charger, or I climb from hell To Heaven's minaret by golden stair. I only know that I have seen the dawn, With rose-cloud linings, amethyst, afloat, And the young moon, a curved and radiant boat, Riding the windy skies at early morn. Seeing such beauty, who could doubt the earth Reveals a paradise that gave it birth? | 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 ETERNAL BEAUTY by GRACE EVELYN BROWN |
