JUDGE NOT ACCORDING TO THE APPEARANCE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: LORD, PURGE OUR EYES TO SEE
Last Line: AND HEAR IT, 'FEAR NOT: IT IS I.'
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
LORD, purge our eyes to see
Within the seed a tree,
Within the glowing egg a bird,
Within the shroud a butterfly:

Till taught by such, we see
Beyond all creatures Thee,
And hearken for Thy tender word,
And hear it, 'Fear not: it is I.'
