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...ASHURNATSIRPAL III by CARL SANDBURG HOLY THURSDAY, FR.
