I thank Thee for the stars that shine Supreme among the heavenly host; But Thou dost lead the golden line, And for Thyself I thank Thee most. I thank Thee for the loveliness That decks the wood, the field, the coast; But Thou, of all that Thou dost bless, Art fairest, and I praise Thee most. I thank Thee for majestic mind, The thought that seers and sages boast; But Thou dost lead Thy creatures blind, And for Thyself I thank Thee most. I praise Thee for man's mastery, Each gain another starting-post; But all he finds in finding Thee, And for Thyself I praise Thee most. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVELIGHT by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON LITTLE BROTHER'S STORY by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: YEE BOW by EDGAR LEE MASTERS TO BE LIKED BY YOU WOULD BE A CALAMITY by MARIANNE MOORE |
