Emil Hoch Poems

Who are these people in front of me
Sitting in an atmosphere of quiet concern
Coming early to hear some strain of wisdom
Or to work within these walls of ivy
...

Each morning as the sun
Seems to rise from the ground
The world wakes up
And comes alive with sound
...

May the sidewalk of your life be continuous
Without obstacles, holes or rough spots.
May it make walking forward easy
Remembering joyous and uplifting.
...
