Thou hast not looked on Yesterday Nor shalt Tomorrow see; Upon thy solitary way Is none to pilot thee: -- Thou comest to thine own A stranger and alone. And yet, alas, thy countenance To us familiar seems; The wonder of thy wakening glance, The vanishing of dreams, Is like an old refrain From silence come again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THIS MORNING, GOD by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR BURNING DAWN by HAYDEN CARRUTH DAWN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON IN THE GARDEN AT THE DAWN HOUR by EDGAR LEE MASTERS EARLY RISER by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE WORDS WHEN WE NEED THEM by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE ANONYMOUS by JOHN BANISTER TABB |
