THE RAINBOW OVER THE ROAD, by FRANCES JACKSON DELANO First Line: A high road, a hard road; it ofttimes plungeth down Last Line: A new road, an old road, on, through eternity. Subject(s): Future Life; Wellesley College; Retribution; Eternity; After Life | ||||||||
A HIGH road, a hard road; it ofttimes plungeth down To a low road, a long road, where fogs hang like a frown. Oh, but it's like the winds to shift, and it's like the fogs to lift; Then -- It's a new road, an old road, a winding road for me, A new road, an old road, on, through eternity. A low road, a long road; it upward hath a trend To a high road, a hard road, that some day hath an end. Oh, it's a joyous end at last, all the stony uplands past; Then -- It's a new road, an old road, a winding road for me, A new road, an old road, on, through eternity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IKON: THE HARROWING OF HELL by DENISE LEVERTOV LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR UNABLE TO FIND by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS 3 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 1 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 2 by HAYDEN CARRUTH WRITING IN THE AFTERLIFE by BILLY COLLINS THE BLIND GOD by ISAAC ROSENBERG A FOREST HYMN by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT I DO NOT LOVE THEE by CAROLINE ELIZABETH SARAH SHERIDAN NORTON |
