THE WATCHER, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSONPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: The long, grim years with iron tread Last Line: Praying the light to break! Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John
The long, grim years with iron tread Move down the shuttered isle Of time's unrecking labyrinth Paved with forgotten dead.
And I, a feather in their wake, Gaze long and tremblingly Into these sunless corridors, Praying the light to break!
