LOVE, by KATRINA TRASK Poet Analysis First Line: O power of love, o wondrous mystery! Last Line: Through thee, my soul has spread her folded wings. Alternate Author Name(s): Trask, Kate Nichols | |||
O POWER of Love, O wondrous mystery! How is my dark illumined by thy light, That maketh morning of my gloomy night, Setting my soul from Sorrow's bondage free With swift-sent revelation! yea, I see Beyond the limitation of my sight And senses, comprehending now, aright, To-day's proportion to Eternity. Through thee, my faith in God is made more sure, My searching eyes have pierced the misty veil; The pain and anguish which stern Sorrow brings Through thee become more easy to endure. Love-strong I mount, and Heaven's high summit scale; Through thee, my soul has spread her folded wings. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING STORM by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS AT CASTERBRIDGE FAIR: 5.
