ONCE IN A WHILE, by W. FRANCIS CHAMBERS First Line: Once in a while the skies seem blue Last Line: Once in a while. Subject(s): Laughter; Light; Smiles; Sun | ||||||||
ONCE in a while the skies seem blue, The way grows pleasant for a mile; Fair blossoms spring where no flowers grew Once in a while. We leave the road and mount the stile, And hear the throstles anew An anthem in a vaulted aisle. Grief loses somewhat of its hue, Tired, tear-worn eyes look up and smile, When God's sweet sunshine stealeth through, Once in a while. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN AGAINST EXCESS OF SEA OR SUN OR REASON by WILLIAM MEREDITH WHY I WAKE EARLY by MARY OLIVER CONTRA MORTEM: THE SUN by HAYDEN CARRUTH SERPENT SUN EYE BEWITCHING MY EYE by AIME CESAIRE IN THE BERKSHIRE HILLS by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE GARDEN OF LOVE, FR.
