Classic and Contemporary Poetry


QUATRAIN by JEROME KENNEDY

First Line: THE LITTLE WAVES THAT DANCE AGAINST THE CLIF
Last Line: YIELD TO THE SLIGHTEST HAND.

The little waves that dance against the cliff
Will crumble it to sand.
Through ceaseless toil, the walls of circumstance
Yield to the slightest hand.
