Classic and Contemporary Poetry


SONG by CHARLES GRANGER BLANDEN

First Line: LIFE, IN ONE SEMESTER
Last Line: WHICH FACE IS ALL YOUR OWN?
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST - SUFFERING & SACRIFICE;

Life, in one semester
You wear so many masks,
If you're sage or jester
My spirit often asks.

Oft you seem so tragic,
I fancy you are Woe;
Then, as if by magic,
In Laughter's garb you go.

Now I see you youthful,
Now limping like a crone.
Life, for once be truthful—
Which face is all your own?
