THE LONG ROAD, by ETHEL RICHARDSON STILLWELL First Line: Down through our troubled age-long puzzlement Last Line: Our feet must climb again, and yet again. Subject(s): God; Life; Roads; Paths; Trails | |||
Down through our troubled age-long puzzlement The light sifts slowly as our feet grow strong To follow, up the way the Master went, Ofttimes in sorrow, as we may with song. Some find the path in lore of ancient days, Some in the shining faith our fathers knew, In psychic, and in scientific ways, And seeking truly, so all ways are true. A little longer, toiling up the hill, A little farther, reaching for the light, And we shall stand together, awed and still, Before the glory of our quickened sight. One more of God's first foot-hills gained; and then Our feet must climb again, and yet again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HE FINDS THE MANSION by JAMES MCMICHAEL BY DIFFERENT PATHS by MARVIN BELL DRIVING HOME by MADELINE DEFREES ART IS PARALLEL TO NATURE by CLARENCE MAJOR HIGHWAY 2, ILLINOIS by LISEL MUELLER GOD MADE A WORLD by ETHEL RICHARDSON STILLWELL |
