A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

George Parsons Lathrop

Glad hours have been when I have seen
     Life’s scope and each dry day’s intent
  United; so that I could stand
  In silence, covering with my hand
  The circle of the universe,
  Balance the blessing and the curse,
  And trust in deeds without chagrin,
Free from to-morrow and yesterday—content.
