TOMORROW'S NEWS, by GEORGE KRINGLE First Line: There will be news tomorrow Last Line: Will be as god shall choose. Subject(s): Religion; Theology | ||||||||
There will be news tomorrow: News of sorrow May be; hard and sharp and cutting: Shutting Off a breath of sweetness, Life's completeness Shattering further; Clashing hard on one another Hope and faith: but God will choose The wisest news. If I tonight Were given to write, By my own will, the words to shape Tomorrow's course, sleep would escape Me, and the wings Of my light heart would be bound. God ordereth things; And I but pray: Shape Thou my destiny, And use me to Thy will. Or let me lie quite still Within Thy hand. The news Will be as God shall choose. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY HYBRIDS OF WAR: A MORALITY POEM: 1.
