Poetry by Robert Stone: The eve of a new year The eve of a new year a poem by Robert Stone On all the eves of all the years all of men send up their cries some for peace to all the earth some for chance to prove their worth some that all find second-birth some for wealth-obtaining power some for wisdom of the hour some that 'neath them men should cower Prayers to God omnipotent prayers to gods that men invent ceaseless prayers for endless things rise to heaven on countless wings But all of men when hope is fled when ease is gone and peace is dead find that words do not suffice in seeking comfort purpose peace advice And only those who know their God who walk the ways that love has trod who have a hope that never fails though it be dimmed as fear assails may comfort those who have no peace and care for those whose needs increase Each of us must pray to be filled with love's humility remembering that all mankind in those who trust their faith shall find And lest indifference creep in unheeded in the rush and din let us recall with solemn air as we begin our every prayer that all the sea has once been tears and all the air has once been sighs- Robert Stone, 6 December 1959 This story was posted on 2009-12-31 14:14:28
