The Present Age
A. Mary F. Robinson
1857 to 1944
We stand upon a bridge between two stars,
And one is half engulféd in the Abyss,
While unarisen still the other is,
Hidden behind the Orient's cloudy bars.
We tread indeed a perilous path by night,
Yet we who walk in darkness unaghast
Prepare the future and redeem the past,
And know the Morning-star shall bring the light.
A. Mary F. Robinson's The Present Age
I am busy working to bring A. Mary F. Robinson's "The Present Age" 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 Present Age" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
