THE PROMISE OF TOMORROW, by CHARLES I. RITTER First Line: Yesteryear. Thy promise made and broken Last Line: Hope we dare not desecrate? Subject(s): Hope; Prayer; Optimism | ||||||||
Yesteryear. Thy promise made and broken. Joy and sorrow mingle there. Fragments thou hast left, my only token O'er which to say my prayer. Today. Thy promises seem much brighter. Mayhap because they are new. Givest thou, or be thou foul blighter Ere the span of day is through. Tomorrow. They promise the one most golden. In thy hands I place my fate. Bringest thou new hope, in you beholden, Hope we dare not desecrate? | 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.
