MEN'S VOICES: O THOU, who rousest the voice of the thunder, And biddest the storms to awake from their sleep, Who breakest the strength of the mountains asunder, And cleavest the manifold pride of the deep! Thou, who with bountiful torrent and river Dost nourish the heart of the forest and plain, Withhold not Thy gifts O Omnipotent Giver! Hearken, O Lord of Rain! WOMEN'S VOICES: O Thou, who wieldest Thy deathless dominion O'er mutable legions of earth and the sky, Who grantest the eagle the joy of her pinion, And teachest the young of the @3koel@1 to fly! Thou who art mighty to succour and cherish, Who savest from sorrow and shieldest from pain, Withhold not Thy merciful love, or we perish, Hearken, O Lord of Rain! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EXISTING POOL by HAYDEN CARRUTH THREE SONNETS by RICHARD WILBUR AUTUMN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO OUR MOCKING-BIRD; DIED OF A CAT, MAY, 1878 by SIDNEY LANIER A CERTAIN POET ON THE DEBATES by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: THE VILLAGE ATHEIST by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
