Yonder

My quest to bring yonder back

Began some years ago

Brought giggles to those around me

Ms. Houck,

Why “Yonder?”

I have been asked

To and fro

Maybe it is the mystery

All of the possibilities

Of where yonder could be

Perhaps it is the sound

When you say “Yonder” out loud

How you purse your lips

As you become aware

Yonder could be anywhere

Which makes it perfect

As something to ponder

Is it two lights down-?

Then take a left?

Or passed the ancient ruins tucked away in a field?

Yonder is such a romantic place:

Just ask Juliet

For Romeo did say,

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?

Do thou win here, do thou conquer here, overcome, win, hail! These here shall conquer, those yonder be conquered! Hail to these here, perdition to those yonder!”

Atharva Veda quotes

“`Here and here did England help me: how can I help England?' - say, / Whoso turns as I, this evening, turn to God to praise and pray, / While Jove's planet rises yonder, silent over Africa.”

Robert Browning

“Under yonder beech-tree single on the greensward, / Couched with her arms behind her golden head, / Knees and tresses folded to slip and ripple idly, / Lies my young love sleeping in the shade.”

George Meredith
