NIGHT AND DAY: 2, by ISAAC ROSENBERG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I saw the face of god today Last Line: The ardent gaze of god on mine. Subject(s): God | |||
I saw the face of God to-day, I heard the music of His smile, And y et I was not far away, And yet in Paradise the while. I lay upon the sparkling grass, And God's own mouth was kissing me, And there was nothing that did pass But blazed with divinity. Divine -- divine -- upon my eyes, Upon mine hair -- divine -- divine, The fervour of the golden skies, The ardent gaze of God on mine. | 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 A BALLAD OF WHITECHAPEL by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
