Two lions stand upon my path,
Nor noon nor night can hide them;
And, look I late or look I rath,
I see no way beside them.
And, look I forth or look I back,
I see but fear and sorrow;
Two lions stand upon my track:
Yesterday and To-morrow.
I am busy working to bring A. Mary F. Robinson's "The Two Lions" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about A. Mary F. Robinson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Two Lions" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
