Past And Future | Poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Past And Future Poem................... by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
_______________________________________________________________________________________
MY future will not copy fair my past
On any leaf but Heaven's.
Be fully done
Supernal Will ! I would not fain be one
Who, satisfying thirst and breaking fast,
Upon the fulness of the heart at last
Says no grace after meat.
My wine has run
Indeed out of my cup, and there is none
To gather up the bread of my repast
Scattered and trampled; yet I find some good
In earth's green herbs, and streams that bubble up
Clear from the darkling ground,--content until
I sit with angels before better food: --
Dear Christ ! when thy new vintage fills my cup,
This hand shall shake no more, nor that wine spill
