REVELATION by EDWIN MARKHAM

Poet Analysis

First Line: I MADE A PILGRIMAGE TO FIND THE GOD
Last Line: SAW HIS BRIGHT HAND SEND SIGNALS FROM THE SUNS.
Subject(s): GOD; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
I made a pilgrimage to find the God:
I listened for His voice at holy tombs,
Searched for the print of His immortal feet
In dust of broken altars: yet turned back
With empty heart. But on the homeward road
A great light came upon me, and I heard
The God's voice singing in a nestling lark;
Felt His sweet wonder in a swaying rose;
Received His blessing from a wayside well;
Looked on His beauty in a lover's face;
Saw His bright hand send signals from the suns.
