Of all things far, I love the best The distance from the east to west; For by that space, and all within, God's mercy parts me from my sin. And best I love, of all things high, The space between the earth and sky; For by that height beyond all ken God's love exceeds the love of men. I love, of deep things undefiled, A father's pity for his child; For by that depth so far, so clear, God pities all that faint and fear. O Father, Father, endless kind, I thank Thee for my human mind, But chief of all my praise shall be That mind cannot encompass Thee! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: THE UNKNOWN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE GOLDEN CORPSE by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET SONG OF TWO CROWS by HAYDEN CARRUTH LOVE'S TENDRILS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 9 by JAMES JOYCE |
