Oh, the beauty I have seen, On the earth and in the sky! Oh, the sunshine in between As the shadows floated by! Oh, the faces sweet and fair, And the bird-notes in the air, And the grace the blossoms bear Dearly nigh! Where the sunrise glory gleams, Where the twilight hushes fall, In the laughter of the streams, In the ivy on the wall, Where the thoughts of love arise In a maiden's happy eyes -- What a dream of beauty lies Over all! There are terrors of the storm, There is winter's chilly woe, But the Father-love is warm, And His wisdom has it so; All the world's the Father's kiss, Just a glimmer of the bliss In the region after this Where we go! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE MOUNTAIN FASTNESS by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE EXISTING POOL by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE WOMEN WITH FABLED HAIR by MADELINE DEFREES OMNIPRESENCE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON FROM THE AGES WITH A SMILE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
