FUTURES, by BEULA CHAMBERLAIN First Line: One counts the future that is his Last Line: Lest rain or wind should mar its loveliness. Subject(s): Aging; Future | |||
One counts the future that is his With steady fingers, Piling the years in row Like smooth round dollars, ready for his use. One flings it from him, out among the crowd, Gay showers of confetti, caring but To make men glad. And one holds close within his eager hand Tending it as a rare and delicate flower Lest rain or wind should mar its loveliness. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WE ARE THOSE PEOPLE by ROBINSON JEFFERS GRANITE AND CYPRESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS WATCH THE LIGHTS FADE by ROBINSON JEFFERS A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) TWO SONNETS, IN 1972: 1.
