Amy Lowell - Before DawnAmy Lowell - Before Dawn
Work rating: Low


Life! Austere arbiter of each man`s fate, By whom he learns that Nature`s steadfast laws Are as decrees immutable; O pause Your even forward march! Not yet too late Teach me the needed lesson, when to wait Inactive as a ship when no wind draws To stretch the loosened cordage. One implores Thy clemency, whose wilfulness innate Has gone uncurbed and roughshod while the years    Have lengthened into decades; now distressed He knows no rule by which to move or stay, And teased with restlessness and desperate fears He dares not watch in silence thy wise way    Bringing about results none could have guessed.
