Hope Poems
The Man With The Hoe (Written After Seeing Millet's World-Famous Painting)
by Edwin Markham
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and despair,
A thing that grieves not and that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?

The seed of doubt
by Jesse Young
Don't put off today.
Could be the last hooray.
Don't over think,
Don't start to sink.
Don't sow the seed of doubt.
Don't let it sprout.
It will begin to shout!

Carry On
by Robert William Service
It's easy to fight when everything's right,
And you're mad with the thrill and the glory;
It's easy to cheer when victory's near,
And wallow in fields that are gory.
It's a different song when everything's wrong,
When you're feeling infernally mortal;
When it's ten against one, and hope there is none,
Buck up, little soldier, and chortle:
Carry on! Carry on!

Let Enthusiasm Blossom
by mv venkataraman
He who gives up loses,
He who quits not succeeds,
Only a believer God blesses,
As his ideas are fertile seeds,
Success when one misses,
He must check all his deeds,
Defeat may come to beat,
Greet it by being calmly sweet,
Repeat acts, so glory you meet,
......
The Raven
by Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
''Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more.'
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow

Hope
by Ken Ripley
Hope is a fragile quest
When knights have long since flown;
Hope is to do your best
With nothing but your own.
Hope is a faithful friend
When others turn their back;
Hope is to see the end
While others feel its lack.
Hope is a spider‘s web
Stretched tight across the door;

Wilted Sunflower
by Prachi Sheoran
On the verge of death, a mighty star,
Conceived a delicate flower.
Dainty, pure, and bright,
Her soul alit by the last light.
Left in a field both radiant and vile,
She bloomed eternal but servile.
A little droopy, a little broke, and plenty shunned,

Alleys of Time
by Soumili Karmakar
Alleys of Time
Yesterday, I was walking through the alleys in Calcutta .
The journey from my home to college with its endless possibilities and challenges is like a cloud.
At times it floats upon a gentle bay,
Showering the hues of life and light of yesterday’s and tomorrow’s blooms
On today’s cherishing bows in a springtime noon.
At times it becomes a reality of experience
To make us believe in hope and in abundance
To learn the glory of time and of fate.
