LIFE, by THOMAS HENRY RYAN Poet's Biography First Line: There is no pause, no break in life Last Line: And life drives on -- span yet on span. Subject(s): Life | ||||||||
There is no pause, no break in life; From dawn to night, to dawn; a chain From age to age, though death be rife To sap its roots: in vain; in vain! For God his lips and breath has brushed On tree and beast, on rock and man; Though death may snare, yet it is crushed: And life drives on -- span yet on span. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD SAYING YES TO LIVING by DAVID IGNATOW THE WORLD IS SO DIFFICULT TO GIVE UP by DAVID IGNATOW THE CORNUCOPIA OF RED AND GREEN COMFITS by AMY LOWELL |
