DESTINY, by MARY MCLEAN CHASE First Line: I love old gardens Last Line: Make the work true! Subject(s): God; Wellesley College | ||||||||
I LOVE old gardens Where the roots grow deep: Yet someone must dig stones And mind the sheep. I love old houses Blessed by birth and death: Yet many folds must be, The Shepherd saith. I love old shady roads, Wet with sweet rain: Yet there are orders out To make rough places plain. I love the old dear ways Wherein my fathers trod: Yet must be blazed new trails That lead to God. So I who love the old Must shape the new: God! with the fathers as with us! Make the work true! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES WRITTEN TO A TRANSLATOR OF GREEK POETRY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON THE LESSER BEAUTY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON WORK by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON IN MEMORY: MISS JEWETT by GRACE ALLERTON ANDREWS HERE ENTER NOT by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON I CLEANED MY HOUSE TODAY by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON MY GARDEN by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON |
