THE PLACE OF PEACE by EDWIN MARKHAM

Poet Analysis

First Line: AT THE HEART OF THE CYCLONE TEARING THE SKY
Last Line: IN THE HOLLOW OF GOD'S PALM.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

At the heart of the cyclone tearing the sky
And flinging the clouds and the towers by,
Is a place of central calm;
So here in the roar of mortal things,
I have a place where my spirit sings,
In the hollow of God's palm.
