EACH NEW DAY WE ARE ALL ALLOCATED 24 PRISTINE HOURS ! 8 TO WORK ~ 8 TO PLAY ~ 8 TO SLEEP ~ THEY QUICKLY PASS ~ EACH PRECIOUS HOUR ~ OUR RESPONSIBILITY !
RISE NOW to meet the Morning Beam
Slowly the Evening Night comes on
Now lay thee down at Night to dream
Too soon the Morn & Eve are gone !
Slowly the Evening Night comes on
Rest on rest on ~ from troubles sore
Too soon the Morn & Eve are gone
So fear the heat of Sun no more !
Rest on rest on ~ from troubles sore
Bring forth thy seed & fruit to light
So fear the heat of Sun no more
And Morn shall please thee as the Night
Bring forth thy seed and fruit to light
Now lay thee down at Night to dream
And Morn shall please thee as the Night
Rise now to meet the Morning beam !
Thanks for reading ~ comments please ~ Love Angela & Brian ๐งก๐ค๐
This Poem is presented as a Pantoum in which every line is repeated once in a strict order. The 2nd & 4th lines - of verse ONE - become the 1st & 3rd lines of verse TWO etc etc. Each verse is a QUATRAIN and there is no limit to the number of verses. To complete the Poem ~ the LAST line of the LAST verse is the FIRST line of verse ONE and the SECOND line is the THIRD line of verse ONE ! Thus the Poem ends where it begins. This Poem is based on a normal Poem (rhyming couplets) by HOUSEMAN. Hope above is clear ~ ANGELA & BRIAN
