IT IS ENOUGH, by CHRISTINE GRANT CURLESS First Line: I do not ask to know what yonder lies Last Line: For me to know that joys are greater there. Subject(s): Heaven; Paradise | |||
I do not ask to know what yonder lies Behind the mist that comes with sunset's glow; But I have seen a glory in the skies At eventime; I've seen the flowers grow. I've walked in clean white snow; I've heard the rain, And watched the trees that leafed and bloomed in spring; I've lingered by a brook that rippled by, And listened to a mating robin sing. I've lived and laughed, and wept to laugh again; I've known a joy that followed deep despair; Whatever the mist conceals, it is enough For me to know that joys are greater there. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE END OF LIFE by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 6 by CONRAD AIKEN THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#19): 2.
