UNDER ROOFS, by EFFIE WALLER SMITH Poet's Biography First Line: Between us and the starred vasts overhead Last Line: Shines nevermore less near. Subject(s): God; Love; Roofing And Roofers | |||
Between us and the starred vasts overhead Broad-builded roofs we spread, Thus shutting from our view the wonders high Of the clear midnight sky; Yet all our roofs make not more faint or far One ray of one dim star. Our souls build o'er them roofs of dread and doubt, And think they shut God out; Yet all the while, remembering though forgot, That vast Love, changing not, Abides, and, spite of all our faithless fear, Shines nevermore less near. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FROM THE ROOFTOPS by CARLO BETOCCHI LULLABY by KATHRYN STRIPLING BYER HAY IN THE LOFT by JAMES HARRISON THEY'RE PUTTING A NEW GREEN TIN ROOF by JAMES HARRISON WORKING ON THE ROOF by BARRY SILESKY A GOOD-BYE by EFFIE WALLER SMITH |
