@3Salute the last and everlasting day,@1 Joy at the uprising of this Sunne, and Sonne, Yee whose just teares, or tribulation Have purely washt, or burnt your drossie clay; Behold the Highest, parting hence away, Lightens the darke clouds, which hee treads upon, Nor doth hee by ascending, show alone, But first hee, and hee first enters the way. O strong Ramme, which hast batter'd heaven for mee, Mild Lambe, which with thy blood, hast mark'd the path; Bright Torch, which shin'st, that I the way may see, Oh, with thy owne blood quench thy owne just wrath, And if thy holy Spirit, my Muse did raise, @3Deigne at my hands this crowne of prayer and praise.@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MARY UNWIN by WILLIAM COWPER PHILIP, MY KING by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A NORTHERN SUBURB by JOHN DAVIDSON THE WILD RIDE by LOUISE IMOGEN GUINEY THE MINSTREL; OR, THE PROGRESS OF GENIUS by JAMES BEATTIE THE CALL by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON TO F.A.B., A VIRTUOUS YOUNG PHYSICIAN ABOUT TO PRACTISE by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB |
