O, Prince of Life, Thy Life hath tuned All life to sweeter, loftier grace! Life's common rounds have wider bounds, Since Thou hast trod life's common ways. O, Heart of Love! Thy Tenderness Still runs through life's remotest vein; And lust and greed and soulless creed Shall never rule the world again. O Life of Love! -- The Good Intent Of God to man made evident, -- All down the years, despite men's fears, Thy Power is still omnipotent. O Life! O Love! O Living Word! -- Rent Veil, revealing God to man, -- Help, Lord! Lest I should crucify, By thought or deed, Thy Love again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: JUDGE SELAH LIVELY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE BLIND GOD by ISAAC ROSENBERG THIRD BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 27.
