SALUTATION, by RUTH STERRY First Line: Did you choose the journey, friend? Last Line: At the inn in company. Subject(s): Travel; Journeys; Trips | ||||||||
Did you choose the journey, friend? No, nor I; But to make it cheerfully, Let us try. When the day is dark, I pray, Sing a song to cheer the way, For tomorrow we will be One day nearer to the sea. Did you choose the journey, friend? No, nor I; But we know the end will come By and by. All today we bear the load Up the weary winding road, But tomorrow we may be At the Inn in company. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
