I HAVE not sought Thee, I have not found Thee, I have not thirsted for Thee: And now cold billows of death surround me, Buffeting billows of death astound me, -- Wilt Thou look upon, wilt Thou see Thy perishing me?' 'Yea, I have sought thee, yea, I have found thee, Yea, I have thirsted for thee, Yea, long ago with love's bands I bound thee: Now the Everlasting Arms surround thee, -- Through death's darkness I look and see And clasp thee to Me.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BATTLE OF NASEBY by THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY FOUR PRELUDES ON PLAYTHINGS OF THE WIND by CARL SANDBURG A BALLAD OF THE HEATHER by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT NEW YEAR'S VERSES FOR THE CARRIER OF THE MIRROR, 1826 by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD |
