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...A GOODNIGHT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS TO JANE: THE RECOLLECTION by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY THE VOICE OF THE RAIN by WALT WHITMAN THE KISS TO THE FLAG by JEAN FRANCOIS VICTOR AICARD RUE DU BOIS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN AUTUMN SUNSET ON THE SIERRA NEVADAS by DOROTHY BOARDMAN |
