I BLESS Thee, Father, for the grace Thou me this day hast given, Strengthening my soul to seek Thy face, And list the theme of heaven. I bless Thee that each work-day care Thy love hath lull'd to rest, And every thought whose wing has prayer Thine answering word hath blest. I bless Thee, Father! Those dark fears That linger'd round my heart, That called for murmurs, doubts and tears, Thy mercy bade depart. O Thou alone couldst send them hence On this blessed day of peace, And with Thy spirit's pure incense Bid work-day turmoil cease. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPITAPH FOR A SOLDIER by DAVID IGNATOW SOMEBODY LOVED ME by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON FRANCIS II, KING OF NAPLES; SONNET by AMY LOWELL SURFACES AND MASKS; 2 by CLARENCE MAJOR ACROSS THE RED SKY by KATHERINE MANSFIELD DOMESDAY BOOK: ANTON SOSNOWSKI by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
