MANY a flower hath perfume for its dower, And many a bird a song, And harmless lambs milkwhite beside their dams Frolic along; Perfume and song and whiteness offering praise In humble peaceful ways. Man's high degree hath will and memory, Affection and desire, By loftier ways he mounts of prayer and praise; Fire unto fire, Deep unto deep responsive, height to height, Until he walk in white. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AMORETTI: 68 by EDMUND SPENSER FOREIGN LANDS by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON LAURENCE BLOOMFIELD IN IRELAND: 5.
