THE YESTERDAYS AND TOMORROWS, by BERTHA HEATH First Line: The yesterdays are gone, do not look back Last Line: Then you'll live without any sorrow. Subject(s): Future | ||||||||
The yesterdays are gone, do not look back. 'Tis onward walk o'er the track; Confidence you must not lack For that would hold you back. Strength of will and lots of tact Will land you if you act Squarely with a well-filled sack. Tomorrow comes, no look of sorrow And you won't have to beg or borrow. Wide the fields, though the paths are narrow We make or mar success in life By the way we think; act or strive. Duty acclaim now, and tomorrow Then you'll live without any sorrow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WE ARE THOSE PEOPLE by ROBINSON JEFFERS GRANITE AND CYPRESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS WATCH THE LIGHTS FADE by ROBINSON JEFFERS A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) TWO SONNETS, IN 1972: 1.
