The Father too, does He not see and hear? And seems He far who dwells so very near? Fear not, my child, there is no need to fear. The days may darken and the tempest lower; Their power is nothing to the Father's power; Lift up thy heart and watch with me this hour. The Shepherd loves and seeks the straying sheep; Them that are His He must forever keep; Oh dry thine eyes, there is no need to weep. Though night falls round Him and cold rains are blown, And bleak the hills, He searches still alone, And search He must until He find His own. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE'S MIRACLE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SEPARATION by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON STANZAS IN MEMORY OF THE AUTHOR OF OBERMANN by MATTHEW ARNOLD MARIA WENTWORTH by THOMAS CAREW A TERNARIE OF LITTLES, UPON A PIPKIN OF JELLIE by ROBERT HERRICK THE SIGN OF THE CROSS by JOHN HENRY NEWMAN THE BAYADERE by FRANCIS SALTUS SALTUS |
