A LAKE SUNRISE, by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE First Line: Sheathed by the everlasting sky Last Line: Whereon an angel lingering may kneel and pray. Subject(s): Angels; Dawn; Lakes; Nature - Religious Aspects; Sunrise; Pools; Ponds | |||
SHEATHED by the everlasting sky That bends caressing from on high In garments blent Of white and blue, And fairer, farther, fainter hue, The silent lake lies musing and is well content. Calm child-of-many-waters, dream! Sudden across thy breast shall gleam A wave-kissed way Of floating gold, Fixed skyward with a steadfast hold, Whereon an angel lingering may kneel and pray. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MAN GETS OFF WORK EARLY by THOMAS LUX THE FRIARY AT BLOSSOM, PROLOGUE & INSTRUCTIONS by NORMAN DUBIE SONGS FOR TWO SEASONS: 2.
