OH, kindred soul, I give thee greeting, E'en as we greet the sunshine bright, Which, after winter's night, uncloses The springtide days of warmth and light! As 'neath Spring's kisses, warm and tender, The flowers their bright faces show, So thou within my heart dost conjure The first green blade of hope to grow. And from that heart, to new life kindled, Doth softly rise an earnest prayer, That God this sunbeam ever guarding Will its light always to me spare. Whatever tempests may assail me, My trusting heart will ne'er despair: Oh, kindred soul, I give thee greeting! God bless thee, my own sunlight fair! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GOLDEN CORPSE by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: IPPOLIT KONOVALOFF by EDGAR LEE MASTERS CITY VIGNETTE: RAIN AT NIGHT by SARA TEASDALE THE OLD MAN DREAMS by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES COWBOY VERSUS BRONCHO by JAMES BARTON ADAMS A SERIOUS REFLECTION ON HUMAN LIFE, SELECTION by HENRY BAKER |
