IMPELLED, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Athwart the sky the great sun sails Last Line: Revolving man to god again. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): God | ||||||||
Athwart the sky the great sun sails, Through æons thus, the daylight trails, And man, living breath of the sod Beholding, in his heart knows God. Throughout the night's long brooding deep, Earth's trustful children die-to-sleep, But with the whisperings of morn Awake, unto the day, new-born. The mystery of earth untold, The great infinite, none behold, Forge ever new the spiral chain, Revolving man to God again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SILENT SHEPHERDS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
