WHO calleth? -- Thy Father calleth, Run, O Daughter, to wait on Him: He Who chasteneth but for a season Trims thy lamp that it burn not dim. Who calleth? -- Thy Master calleth, Sit, Disciple, and learn of Him: He Who teacheth wisdom of Angels Makes thee wise as the Cherubim. Who calleth? -- Thy Monarch calleth, Rise, O Subject, and follow Him: He is stronger than Death or Devil, Fear not thou if the foe be grim. Who calleth? -- Thy Lord God calleth, Fall, O Creature, adoring Him: He is jealous, thy God Almighty, Count not dear to thee life or limb. Who calleth? -- Thy Bridegroom calleth, Soar, O Bride, with the Seraphim: He Who loves thee as no man loveth Bids thee give up thy heart to Him. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FAREWELL TO LOVE; SONNET by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE TO AGE by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR THE FIFTEEN ACRES by JAMES STEPHENS PRELUDE by JOHN MILLINGTON SYNGE ON THE BACKWARDNESS OF THE SPRING 1771 by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD DRAB BONNETS by BERNARD BARTON |
