Athwart the sky the great sun sails, Through æons thus, the daylight trails, And man, living breath of the sod Beholding, in his heart knows God. Throughout the night's long brooding deep, Earth's trustful children die-to-sleep, But with the whisperings of morn Awake, unto the day, new-born. The mystery of earth untold, The great infinite, none behold, Forge ever new the spiral chain, Revolving man to God again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MARIA CALLAS, THE WOMAN BEHIND THE LEGEND* by MADELINE DEFREES A DIM DOORWAY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A SONG OF ETERNITY IN TIME by SIDNEY LANIER DOMESDAY BOOK: LOVERIDGE CHASE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS TO MILITARY PROGRESS by MARIANNE MOORE NICHARCHUS UPON PHIDON HIS DOCTOR by EZRA POUND |
