'EYE hath not seen': -- yet man hath known and weighed A hundred thousand marvels that have been: What is it which (the Word of Truth hath said) Eye hath not seen? 'Ear hath not heard': -- yet harpings of delight, Trumpets of triumph, song and spoken word, Man knows them all: what lovelier, loftier might Hath ear not heard? 'Nor heart conceived': -- yet man hath now desired Beyond all reach, beyond his hope believed, Loved beyond death: what fire shall yet be fired No heart conceived? 'Deep calls to deep': -- man's depth would be despair But for God's deeper depth: we sow to reap. Have patience, wait, betake ourselves to prayer: Deep answereth deep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER THE PAPAGO by JAMES GALVIN DRIVING INTO LARAMIE by JAMES GALVIN THE JOBHOLDER by DAVID IGNATOW THE DAY OF THE DEAD SOLDIERS; MARY 30, 1869 by EMMA LAZARUS THE RAINY SEASON by CLARENCE MAJOR THE GREAT RACE PASSES by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE GREAT HUNT by CARL SANDBURG |
