IF thought ever reach to Heaven, On Heaven let it dwell. For fear that Thought be given Like Power to reach to Hell; For fear that Desolation And darkness on thy mind Perplex the habitation Which thou hast left behind. Our lives, our tears as water Are poured upon the ground; God giveth no man quarter, Yet God a means hath found, Tho' faith and hope have vanished And even love grows dim, A means whereby his banished Be not expelled from Him. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BETSY'S BATTLE FLAG by MINNA IRVING MY LITTLE DREAMS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SONNET: FOR INSPIRATION by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE by ROBERT MORRIS PSALM OF THOSE WHO GO FORTH BEFORE DAYLIGHT by CARL SANDBURG HEART OF HAMPSHIRE by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB AIRS SUNG AT BROUGHAM CASTLE: DIALOGUE SUNG THE FIRST NIGHT by THOMAS CAMPION |
