STANDING ON TIPTOE, by GEORGE FREDERICK CAMERON Poet's Biography First Line: Standing on tiptoe ever since my youth Last Line: Dwells with the stars. Subject(s): Future; Truth | ||||||||
STANDING on tiptoe ever since my youth, Striving to grasp the future just above, I hold at length the only future -- Truth, And Truth is Love. I feel as one who being awhile confined Sees drop to dust about him all his bars: -- The clay grows less, and, leaving it, the mind Dwells with the stars. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INCLINED TO SPEAK by LAWRENCE JOSEPH WHAT IS TRUTH? by JOHN BOWRING EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV LYING MY HEAD OFF by CATE MARVIN TRUTH SERUM by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE FROST AND HIS ENEMIES by ROBERT BLY DEATH (IN MEMORIAM MAGGIE MEAGHER) by GEORGE FREDERICK CAMERON |
