THE daily tribute of the sun Lives on, in tree, and fruit, and flower; Lives on, with subtle change of power, When the last hour of day is done. And what the kindly sun has given, Reborn in many a varied form, Is in the wind, the sea, the storm, And when the lightning flames through heaven, And is itself again; and so Through many ways of diverse change Has love equality of range, And back again as love may flow; For deathless, as God's sunlight still, Its tender ministry renewed In each divine beatitude, Shall love its purposes fulfil. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...W'EN I GITS HOME by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE SANDPIPER by CELIA LEIGHTON THAXTER THE RUINS OF CORINTH by ANTIPATER OF SIDON LAUTERBRUNNEN by THOMAS GOLD APPLETON ODE TO THE CONNECTICUT RIVER by JOSIAS LYNDON ARNOLD RARE INTERVALS by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN |
