First Line: A flower unblown: a book unread
Last Line: Beyond tomorrow's mystic gates.
Variant Title(s): The Year Ahead
Subject(s): Holidays; New Year
A flower unblown; a book unread;
A tree with fruit unharvested;
A path untrod; a house whose rooms
Lack yet the heart's divine perfumes:
A landscape whose wide border lies
In silent shade, 'neath silent skies;
A treasure with its gifts concealed --
This is the year that for you waits
Beyond tomorrow's mystic gates.
