Poems (Hazlett-Bevis)/Looking Forward

​

Looking Forward.
We all look forward. What would life be  That had in it no hope? Even you who say "I have no hope," and see Life through a horoscope, Predicting only gloom and woe and tears;  Even you crave sunshine, And seek to waft away all fears;  And throw your tangled line Far out in the distant coming years  To catch a ray of joy; For each hath need of this, to stay  The tide that ofttimes bathes the feet Of those who ill at heart, yet may  Be stronger, through both cold and heat.
