ENERGY IN ADVERSITY, by LUELLA J. CASE Poet's Biography First Line: Onward! Hath earth's ceaseless change Last Line: Strength and healing on their wing. Alternate Author Name(s): Bartlett, Luella Subject(s): Conduct Of Life | ||||||||
ONWARD! Hath earth's ceaseless change Trampled on thy heart? Faint not, for that restless range Soon will heal the smart. Trust the future; time will prove Earth hath stronger, truer love. Bless thy God, the heart is not An abandoned urn, Where, all lonely and forgot, Dust and ashes mourn; Bless Him, that his mercy brings Joy from out its withered things. Onward, for the truths of God! Onward, for the right! Firmly let the field be trod, In life's coming fight; Heaven's own hand will lead thee on, Guard thee till thy task is done! Then will brighter, sweeter flowers Blossom round thy way, Than e'er sprung in Hope's glad bowers, In thine early day; And the rolling years shall bring Strength and healing on their wing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD by MATTHEA HARVEY SLOWLY: I FREQUENTLY SLOWLY WISH by LYN HEJINIAN MY LIFE: YET WE INSIST THAT LIFE IS FULL OF HAPPY CHANCE by LYN HEJINIAN CHAPTER HEADING by ERNEST HEMINGWAY PUNK HALF PANTHER by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA A CERTAIN MAN by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA GREEN-STRIPED MELONS by JANE HIRSHFIELD LIKE THE SMALL HOLE BY THE PATH-SIDE SOMETHING LIVES IN by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
