Faith is a cathedral grand. Pictured windows all divine. No glory when without you stand, And view their dull and dreary line; But when within you look about, And God's own sunlight floods the whole Each separate ray doth fairly shout A harmony that fills your soul, And lifts you into heaven's plane, And makes your life seem strong and whole; Oh, then you say that life is true, That God is good, and love is strong; That just to live with such a view, To do God's work, to sing his song, Is far the best and greatest thing For which a human heart can pine; To gladly toil, and love, and sing Is verily the life divine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WEDDING BED IN MANGKUTANA by KAREN SWENSON THE LONELY DEATH by ADELAIDE CRAPSEY TO PFRIMMER (LINES ON READING 'DRIFTWOOD') by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR WESTWARD HO! by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER SONG: THE STRICKEN DEER by THOMAS MOORE TO MR.
