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...TO THE RETURNED GIRLS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS AFTER THE PAPAGO by JAMES GALVIN BENEDICTION by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON FINIS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON MADMAN OF THE SOUTH SIDE by CLARENCE MAJOR STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 5.
