HIS NAME, by CHARLES POOLE CLEAVES First Line: I have lifted my eyes to the strength of the hills Last Line: The lord is his name! Subject(s): God | |||
I have lifted my eyes to the strength of the hills At the dawn of the day; Felt the quickening stir of power that thrills, Seen the night drift away; Caught the first flush of dawn. Who is this, then, that fills With His spirit my clay? He that slumbereth not while I slumber, nor sleeps While, protected, I sleep; Who creates, shall sustain—who gave life shall renew— Who hath promised, shall keep: My shade from the sun and my shelter from the storm, In the dark a clear flame, It is He—ever Friend and Preserver, O Soul! The Lord is His name! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SILENT SHEPHERDS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REST WHERE YOU ARE by CHARLES POOLE CLEAVES |
