Leaf from leaf Christ knows; Himself the Lily and the Rose: Sheep from sheep Christ tells; Himself the Shepherd, no one else: Star and star He names. Himself outblazing all their flames: Dove by dove, He calls To set each on the golden walls: Drop by drop. He counts The flood of ocean as it mounts: Grain by grain, His hand Numbers the innumerable sand. Lord, I lift to Thee In peace what is and what shall be: Lord, in peace I trust To Thee all spirits and all dust. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MOUNTAIN FARM by MALCOLM COWLEY THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE by JAMES GALVIN MOTHERHOOD by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 8 by JAMES JOYCE JONES'S PRIVATE ARGYMENT by SIDNEY LANIER |
