ECLIPSE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: AFLOUNDER THE UNCOMPASSED DARKNESS OF DOUBT
Last Line: UNANSWERED, UNSUCCORED, ALONE!

Aflounder the uncompassed darkness of doubt
In search of the path to the goal
That lies at the end of our transient day,
The ultimate bourne of the soul;
I grasp into nothingness, feebly essay
To clasp but a willow, a stone,
And grope through the stepless, unechoing gloom
Unanswered, unsuccored, alone!
