Is there a hand more tender than the hand Of Woman? Are there bountiful deep eyes Whence the eternal pity never flies? Is there a God within some deathless land? And can he bend and hear and understand From heights of awful unapproached clear skies? Is there a heart of love that never dies,— Sweet beyond wish, beyond our yearning grand?— O God of human hearts,—if God there be,— Blend thou thy great immortal soul with ours. We seek thee, as a river seeks the sea, Weary of all the old inland sun-smit bowers.— Absorb us, cleanse us, save us,—give us rest. Gather our stream-hearts to thine ocean-breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AMOUR by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO THE PEACOCK OF FRANCE by MARIANNE MOORE IN PICCADILLY by ISAAC ROSENBERG RHYMES OF THE DAY by GEORGE SANTAYANA TELL'S BIRTHPLACE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE PLUMPUPPETS by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY A TERRE (BEING THE PHILOSOPHY OF MANY SOLDIERS) by WILFRED OWEN |
