An Eternity by Archibald MacLeish   There is no dusk to be,    There is no dawn that was, Only there's now, and now,    And the wind in the grass. Days I remember of    Now in my heart, are now; Days that I dream will bloom    White peach bough. Dying shall never be    Now in the windy grass; Now under shooken leaves    Death never was.   Today's poem is in the public domain.  Poetry by MacLeish Collected Poems 1917 to 1982 Write to poemaday@poets.org to nominate your favorite 2012 Poem-A-Day. Votes will be tallied and broadcast in the December Poets.org newsletter!
