ONCE again to wake, nor wish to sleep; Once again to feel, nor feel a pain! Rouse thy soul to watch and pray and weep Once again. Hope afresh, for hope shall not be vain: Start afresh along the exceeding steep Road to glory, long and rough and plain. Sow and reap: for while these moments creep, Time and earth and life are on the wane: Now, in tears; to-morrow, laugh and reap Once again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BURNING DAWN by HAYDEN CARRUTH CONTRA MORTEM: THE WHEEL OF BEING II by HAYDEN CARRUTH PARAGRAPHS: 15 by HAYDEN CARRUTH SPRING NOTES FROM ROBIN HILL by HAYDEN CARRUTH RETURN (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON WHEN I RISE UP by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
