"The voice of one crying in the wilderness" I BEYOND; beyond; and yet again beyond! What went ye out to seek, oh foolish-fond? Is not the heart of all things here and now? Is not the circle infinite, and the centre Everywhere, if ye would but hear and enter? Come; the porch bends and the great pillars bow. II Come; come and see the secret of the sun; The sorrow that holds the warring worlds in one; The pain that holds Eternity in an hour; One God in every seed self-sacrificed, One star-eyed, star-crowned universal Christ, Re-crucified in every wayside flower. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN YOUTH AND AGE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE RELIGION AND DOCTRINE by JOHN MILTON HAY THE TWO OLD BACHELORS by EDWARD LEAR FOR A DEAD LADY by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON UPON MY LADY CARLISLE'S WALKING IN HAMPTON COURT GARDEN by JOHN SUCKLING THOSE WHO LOVE by SARA TEASDALE |
