VOICES from above and from beneath, Voices of creation near and far, Voices out of life and out of death, Out of measureless space, Sun, moon, star, In oneness of contentment offering praise. Heaven and earth and sea jubilant, Jubilant all things that dwell therein; Filled to fullest overflow they chant, Still roll onward, swell, Still begin Never flagging praise interminable. Thou who must fall silent in a while, Chant thy sweetest, gladdest, best, at once; Sun thyself to-day, keep peace and smile; By love upward send Orisons, Accounting love thy lot and love thine end. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SEA-GRAVE by SARA TEASDALE LAY OF THE TRILOBITE by MAY EMMA GOLDWORTH KENDALL THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, SELECTION by ANEIRIN THE FLOWERING FAGGOTS by WILLIAM ROSE BENET THE NEW WORLD; TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES by LAURENCE BINYON WINTER: EAST ANGLIA by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN L'INDIFFERENT; WATTEAU; THE LOUVRE by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY |
