I said good bye in hope: But now we meet again I have no hope at all Of anything but pain, Our parting & our meeting Alike in vain. Hope on thro' all your life Until the end, dear Friend. Live thro' your noble life Where joy & promise blend: I too will live my life Until the end. Long may your vine entwine, Long may your figtree spread Their paradise of shade Above your cherished head: My shelter was a gourd, And it is dead. Yet when out of a grave We are gathered home at last, Then may we own life spilt No good worth holding fast: -- Death had its bitterness But it is past. | 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.
