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...MANHATTAN, 1609 by EDWIN MARKHAM CLASS SONG (WHICH WILL BE SUNG ON THE 22ND OF FEBRUARY) by GEORGE SANTAYANA THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS RIDDLE: TEETH AND GUMS by MOTHER GOOSE LITTLE BERNHARD by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS A POEM FOR THE SEFIROT AS WHEEL OF LIGHT by NAFTALI BACHARACH MY VOCATION by PIERRE JEAN DE BERANGER |
