We meet -- one another, and friendship expands As eye catches eye, and as hands welcome hands. The touch of good fellowship thrills to the soul, And each is inspired by the zeal of the whole. We meet -- the dear Saviour, unseen and unheard; We leap to the vision, we feed on the word; His presence, so loving, so wise, and so strong, Is felt in each moment of prayer or of song. We meet -- our ideals; exulting we see The grace that our living might blessedly be. We burn with the joy of that promised delight, And spring to achieve it in heaven-born might. So meeting, we practise the life of true men; So parting, we part but to gather again; Till soon -- how the spirit awaits it and yearns! -- We shall meet in the meeting that never adjourns. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOREST FLOWERS by ROBERT FROST ENVOYS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON HOPE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON JOY (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON VERY EARLY SPRING by KATHERINE MANSFIELD I PAY MY DEBT FOR LAFAYETTE AND ROCHAMBEAU' by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
