NO PLEDGES, by FLORA J. ARNSTEIN First Line: Forever is a timeless word Last Line: Are we secure. | |||
Forever is a timeless word Yet harbors death; Fetter our lips lest inadvertently We give it breath. Say only Now, the sovereign Now, ill-fated To endure. Life momently illumined, only of this Are we secure. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE INFLATION OF THE CURRENCY, 1919 by ROBERT FROST MAKING THE BED by KAREN SWENSON FRAGMENT ON DEATH by FRANCOIS VILLON TO HIS SON, VINCENT CORBET, ON HIS THIRD BIRTHDAY by RICHARD CORBET THE FLY by BARNABY (BARNABE) GOOGE SUNKEN GOLD by EUGENE JACOB LEE-HAMILTON THE OWL (1) by ALFRED TENNYSON FAREWELL, UNKIST by THOMAS WYATT |
