O Christ, the Wonderful! we gladly see The seven wonders of the world in Thee. Pharos! that flung so bold a light abroad, -- The Light of all the world is Christ, our Lord. Vast pyramids that lift the wondering sight, Bow down to Christ, the Apex of all height! Colossus, framed the Rhodian gulf to span, -- Our Christ has bridged the gulf from God to man. Babylon's hanging gardens, fruitful, gay, -- We have a Vine that wraps the world to-day. Rare Mausoleum, shrine of royal breath, -- Christ is the King that conquered even death. Diana's temple! -- all that Christ adore Become His temples, peerless evermore. Statue of Zeus, low lying in the sod, Worship our Christ, the ever-living God! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHAT THING A BIRD WOULD LOVE by ROBERT FROST THE PASSING OF THE EX-SLAVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON DE LITTLE PICKANINNY'S GONE TO SLEEP by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON PRAYER AT SUNRISE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON DOMESDAY BOOK: THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT by EDGAR LEE MASTERS HOMAGE TO SEXTUS PROPERTIUS: 9 by EZRA POUND |
