HOPE, by CECIL R. MARTIN First Line: The somber haze cannot for long conceal Last Line: Then face about to wait the hasting day. Subject(s): Hope; Optimism | ||||||||
The somber haze cannot for long conceal The broad perspective of the luring height; The clammy mists must shortly melt and steal Beyond the visage of a star-flecked night. Across the blue of miles soft mountains roll Each over each in lofty, bold release. Beyond them sweeps the Yukon of the soul; Beyond them naps the Galilee of peace. So when upon the sloping twilight sky The feeble sunset crimson turns to gray, I'll watch until its ashen embers die, Then face about to wait the hasting day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SONNET by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SONNET: 9.
