THE FUTURE NEVER SPOKE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Fate's — telegram — to him
Subject(s): Future


The Future - never spoke -
Nor will He - like the Dumb -
Reveal by sign - a syllable
Of His Profound To Come -

But when the News be ripe -
Presents it - in the Act -
Forestalling Preparation -
Escape - or Substitute -

Indifference to Him -
The Dower - as the Doom -
His Office - but to execute
Fate's - Telegram - to Him
