och
you and only you
soggarth aroon | img2poems |
now whispers relief to the bosom of pain
and the hair that was shining with diamond and pearl
is wet with the tears of the penitent girl | img2poems |
and is mine one
said abou
nay not so | img2poems |
with dovelike wings peace o'er yon village broods
the dizzying mill-wheel rests the anvil's din
hath ceased all all around is quietness | img2poems |
and when refreshed the soul once more puts on new life and power
oh let thine image
lord alone gild the first waking hour | img2poems |
shine out true light
to guide my way amid that deepening gloom
and rise o morning star the first that dayspring to illume | img2poems |
shall these glad things arise
to verify thy word
and bless our wandering eyes | img2poems |
when brightly shines the prosperous day
be thoughts of thee a cloudy screen
to temper the deceitful ray | img2poems |
o father
grant thy love divine
to make these mystic temples thine | img2poems |
which whyle thou lyvest shall nat let the want
that thou desyrest justly for thy syrvyce
and than after gyve the the joyes of paradyse | img2poems |
thou art not he who yesterday
sat here and begged beside the way
for he was blind | img2poems |
their words passed by him like the wind
which raves and howls but cannot shock
the hundred-fathom-rooted rock | img2poems |
not that amassing flowers
youth sighed which rose make ours
which lily leave and then as best recall | img2poems |
not that admiring stars
it yearned nor jove nor mars
mine be some figured flame which blends transcends them all | img2poems |
not for such hopes and fears
annulling youth's brief years
do i remonstrate folly wide the mark | img2poems |
rather i prize the doubt
low kinds exist without
finished and finite clods untroubled by a spark | img2poems |
rejoice we are allied
to that which doth provide
and not partake effect and not receive | img2poems |
a spark disturbs our clod
nearer we hold of god
who gives than of his tribes that take i must believe | img2poems |
then welcome each rebuff
that turns earth's smoothness rough
each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go | img2poems |
what is he but a brute
whose flesh hath soul to suit
whose spirit works lest arms and legs want play | img2poems |
to man propose this test
thy body at its best
how far can that project thy soul on its lone way | img2poems |
as the bird wings and sings
let us cry all good things
are ours nor soul helps flesh more now than flesh helps soul | img2poems |
be there for once and all
severed great minds from small
announced to each his station in the past | img2poems |
what though the earlier grooves
which ran the laughing loves
around thy base no longer pause and press | img2poems |
what though about thy rim
scull-things in order grim
grow out in graver mood obey the sterner stress | img2poems |
religion relates to life and the life of religion is to do
good
swedenborg | img2poems |
have i not lord gone day by day
where thy poor children dwell
and carried help and gold and food | img2poems |
have i not watched and wept
she cried
did thy dear saints do more | img2poems |
consume and cleanse the sin
that lingers still within its depths
let heavenly love begin | img2poems |
so we inherit that sweet purity
for which we struggled failed and agonized
with widening retrospect that bred despair | img2poems |
this is life to come
which martyred men have made more glorious
for us who strive to follow | img2poems |
an infant crying in the night
an infant crying for the light
and with no language but a cry | img2poems |
look forth again it must be near the hour
dost thou not see the snowy mountain copes
and the green woods beneath them on the slopes | img2poems |
i did and going did a rainbow note
surely thought i
this is the lace of peace's coat | img2poems |
the weary day is at its zenith still
yet 't is as if beside some cool clear rill
through shadowy stillness rose an evening psalm | img2poems |
while inly rose the sense in swelling tide
of weakness insufficiency and sin
and fear and gloom and doubt in mighty flood rolled in | img2poems |
waters flowed over mine head then i said i am cut
off
lamentations iii | img2poems |
that with no middle flight intends to soar
above the aonian mount while it pursues
things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme | img2poems |
me who have touched and tasted yet both live
and life more perfect have attained than fate
meant me by venturing higher than my lot | img2poems |
god therefore cannot hurt ye and be just
not just not god: not feared then nor obeyed
your fear itself of death removes the fear | img2poems |
that ye shall be as gods since i as man
internal man is but proportion meet
i of brute human ye of human gods | img2poems |
so ye shall die perhaps by putting off
human to put on gods death to be wished
though threatened which no worse than this can bring | img2poems |
some natural tears they dropt but wiped them soon
the world was all before them where to choose
their place of rest and providence their guide | img2poems |
and the grave is not its goal
dust thou art to dust returnest
was not spoken of the soul | img2poems |
in the world's broad field of battle
in the bivouac of life
be not like dumb driven cattle | img2poems |
i slept and dreamed that life was beauty
i woke and found that life was duty
was then thy dream a shadowy lie | img2poems |
toil on sad heart courageously
and thou shalt find thy dream to be
a noonday light and truth to thee | img2poems |
serene will be our days and bright
and happy will our nature be
when love is an unerring light | img2poems |
i call thee: i myself commend
unto thy guidance from this hour
oh let my weakness have an end | img2poems |
let not soft slumber close my eyes
before i've recollected thrice
the train of action through the day | img2poems |
more pale to see
christ hung upon the cruel tree
and bore his father's wrath for me | img2poems |
beneath a rod
more heavy christ for my sake trod
the wine-press of the wrath of god | img2poems |
not so christ
whose mighty love of me sufficed
for strength salvation eucharist | img2poems |
if i bleed
his feet have bled: yea in my need
his heart once bled for mine indeed | img2poems |
so he was young
who for my sake in silence hung
upon the cross with passion wrung | img2poems |
he was more fair
than men who deigned for me to wear
a visage marred beyond compare | img2poems |
daily bread
all else is his who living dead
for me lacked where to lay his head | img2poems |
it was not so
to him whose cup did overflow
with mine unutterable woe | img2poems |
when christ would sup
he drained the dregs from out my cup
so how should i be lifted up | img2poems |
helpless dust
in thee o lord i put my trust
answer thou for me wise and just | img2poems |
witness my god i did
yet i am run again upon the score
my faults cannot be hid | img2poems |
'twill be but labor lost
my good cannot prevail against mine ill
the business will be crost | img2poems |
and when he is come he will reprove the world of sin and of
righteousness and of judgment
john xvi | img2poems |
behold satan hath desired to have you that he may sift you
as wheat
luke xxii | img2poems |
but noble souls through dust and heat
rise from disaster and defeat
the stronger | img2poems |
and conscious still of the divine
within them lie on earth supine
no longer | img2poems |
the sun comes up and the sun goes down
and day and night are the same as one
the year grows green and the year grows brown | img2poems |
the syrian heard rose up and braced
his huge limbs to the accustomed toil
my child see how the waters boil | img2poems |
no more arprobus swerved
but gained the farther bank and then
a voice cried hence christopheros be | img2poems |
for carrying thou hast carried me
the king of angels and of men
the master thou hast served | img2poems |
the merlin cannot ever soar on high
nor greedy greyhound still pursue the chase
the tender lark will find a time to fly | img2poems |
a soul as dauntless 'mid the storm
of daily life a heart as warm
and pure as breast e'er wore | img2poems |
who is thine enemy
the high
in station or in wealth the chief | img2poems |
a feather which thou mightest cast
aside as idly as the blast
the light leaf from the tree | img2poems |
death in the breast's consuming fires
to that high nature which aspires
forever till thus checked | img2poems |
these are thine enemies thy worst
they chain thee to thy lowly lot
thy labor and thy life accursed | img2poems |
thou art thyself thine enemy
the great
what better they than thou | img2poems |
with this and passions under ban
true faith and holy trust in god
thou art the peer of any man | img2poems |
or ragg'd to go
or show
a downcast look and sour | img2poems |
resort to sermons but to prayers most
praying's the end of preaching
o be drest | img2poems |
god calleth preaching folly
do not grudge
to pick out treasures from an earthen pot | img2poems |
two went to pray
o rather say
one went to brag the other to pray | img2poems |
the strangers' bread with bitter tears we steep
and when our weary eyes should sink to sleep
in the mute midnight we steal forth to weep | img2poems |
he passed again and lo
the well by summers never dried
had cooled ten thousand parching tongues and saved a life besides | img2poems |
it shone upon a genial mind and lo
its light became
a lamp of life a beacon ray a monitory flame | img2poems |
this would i be and would none other be
but a religious servant of my god
and know there is none other god but he | img2poems |
and willingly to suffer mercy's rod
joy in his grace and live but in his love
and seek my bliss but in the world above | img2poems |
and i would frame a kind of faithful prayer
for all estates within the state of grace
that careful love might never know despair | img2poems |
nor servile fear might faithful love deface
and this would i both day and night devise
to make my humble spirit's exercise | img2poems |
pray for me o my friend
but nathan cried
pray thou for me ben isaac | img2poems |
shall he the searcher of the hidden heart
in his eternal and divine decree
condemn the woman and forgive the man | img2poems |
whatever the sins that tripped them
god pity them
still i say | img2poems |
only hate from men
only remorse to whisper
of a life that might have been | img2poems |
and perhaps their unstained feet
were led by a gentle mother
toward the golden street | img2poems |
with earnest heart i ask
that your eyes may not look earthward
on the failure of your task | img2poems |
by the great god of heaven
it was not
my serious meaning it was ne'er resolve | img2poems |
or that the sun
could rising from the west draw his coach backward
take from the account of time so many minutes | img2poems |
held in the mouth that languid fever burns
his tasteless food he indolently turns
on alba's oldest stock his soul shall pine | img2poems |
or darkly shadowed forth in dream confused
while the damp brow betrays the inward storm
before him flits thy aggravated form | img2poems |
when muttered thunders shake the lurid sky
whose deadly paleness now the gloom conceals
and now the vivid flash anew reveals | img2poems |
