Poems (Coolidge)/Forward Go
FORWARD GO
Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward. —Ex. xiv. 15
The promised land to every soul
Far in the distance gleams;
Go forward, then, nor halting wait.
Dream thou no idle dreams.
Far in the distance gleams;
Go forward, then, nor halting wait.
Dream thou no idle dreams.
While yet 'tis flay, still forward go,
Keep thou thine armor bright;
Whose time is spent in vain regret
Shall never win the fight.
Keep thou thine armor bright;
Whose time is spent in vain regret
Shall never win the fight.
