A NEW YEAR'S THOUGHT, by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Yet once again in wintry ways Last Line: Yet once again! Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin Subject(s): Holidays; New Year | ||||||||
YET once again in wintry ways The grey world rolls its tale of days; And though its breast be chill and frore, Still holds the songs of Spring in store, The Autumn rains, the Summer blaze. Season to season, phase to phase Succeed, and pass: what seems a maze Is but Life's ordered course gone o'er Yet once again. So, through this drear December haze, We, fearless, turn our forward gaze, As those who know, from days before, What has been once will be once more, -- Good Hap or ill, and Blame, and Praise, Yet once again! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEW YEAR'S POEM by MARGARET AVISON A SPEED OF HISTORY by MARGARET AVISON NEW YEAR'S DAY by DAVID LEHMAN LINES FOR THE NEW YEAR by JULIE CARR I AM RUNNING INTO A NEW YEAR by LUCILLE CLIFTON FOR THE NEW YEAR (2) by ROBERT CREELEY A FANCY FROM FONTENELLE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON |
