FATE, by                    
First Line: On such a little thing our future hinges!
Last Line: A spoken word, a careless note dispatched.
Subject(s): Fate; Future; Soul; Destiny


On such a little thing our future hinges!
A spoken word, a careless note dispatched --
And lo! old lines and patterns are detached,
Or change with colors new their texture tinges.
Think how one flame, that seemingly but singes
Sears to the depths a surface once unscratched.
On such a little thing our future hinges.
A spoken word, a careless note dispatched,
And on a soul that droops apart or cringes
Steals a new sundawn through a door unlatched.
Yea, or a captive from his prison snatched
Starts as a ray upon his brow impinges.
On such a little thing our future hinges --
A spoken word, a careless note dispatched.
