TO TIME by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: DAY BY DAY THE THREADS OF WHITE
Last Line: BREAK NOT YOUR ARROW IN MY BREAST!
Subject(s): TIME;
Day by day the threads of white
Multiply, Oh! hour-glass!
How passing swift your bright sands pass,
Fain would I hold you,
Linger, bide
Until these surges shall subside,
That sweep me forward unto bliss,
Oh! charging sun, I bid you rest,
Break not your arrow in my breast!
