All the way to age we'll go
Hand in hand together;
All the way to brows of snow
Through every sort of weather.
Rain or shine, blue sky or gray,
Joy and sorrow sharing
Hand in hand along the way
We'll go bravely faring.
All the way to sunset land
We'll walk down together
Side by side and hand in hand
Held by Cupid's tether.
Once we danced in early May
Steps we'll long remember;
So we'll trip the miles away
Even to December.
Let the years go fleeting by!
Gray old age shall find us
Still recalling smile and sigh
Long since left behind us.
And though feeble we may grow,
Worn by wind and weather,
All the way to Age we'll go
Hand in hand together.
I am busy working to bring Edgar A. Guest's "Hand in Hand" 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 Edgar A. Guest's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Hand in Hand" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
