CONCORD, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSONPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: Nor shall I in sorrow repine Last Line: To break the eternal amen! Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John
Nor shall I in sorrow repine, But offer a pæan of praise To the infinite God of my days Who marshals the pivoting spheres Through the intricate maze of the years, Who loosens the luminous flood That lightens the purlieus of men, I shall not in sorrow repine To break the eternal Amen!
