COURAGE, by TILLA BARBARA SPERRY First Line: The young birch bends to ruthless fate Last Line: Your fate courageously. Subject(s): Birch Trees; Courage; Valor; Bravery | ||||||||
The young birch bends to ruthless fate In winds that whip the lands; The young birch gallantly sweeps back -- Again, erect it stands. Oh, heart of mine be like the birch In stress of life's decree; If bend you must, whip back and meet Your fate courageously. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNLESS IT WAS COURAGE by MARVIN BELL THE QUALITY OF COURAGE by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ON THE OREGON COAST; FOR WILLIAM STAFFORD by ROBERT BLY WORDS WITH WALLACE STEVENS by ROBERT BLY BUFFALO CLOUDS OVER THE MAESTRO HOON by NORMAN DUBIE A SONG OF COURAGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE AUDACIOUS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON OH, THE WATER by DORIANNE LAUX SEA MAGIC by TILLA BARBARA SPERRY |
