HYMN: FIRST SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY: 2, by REGINALD HEBER Poet's Biography First Line: By cool siloam's shady rill Last Line: To keep us still thine own. Subject(s): Children; Epiphany; Piety; Childhood; Twelfth Night | ||||||||
BY cool Siloam's shady rill How sweet the lily grows! How sweet the breath beneath the hill Of Sharon's dewy rose! Lo, such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod; Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. By cool siloam's shady rill The lily must decay; The rose that blooms beneath the hill Must shortly fade away. And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's power, And stormy passion's rage. O Thou, whose infant feet were found Within thy Father's shrine, Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned, Were all alike divine; Dependent on thy bounteous breath, We seek thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, age, and death, To keep us still thine own. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPIPHANIE CAROL by JOSEPH BEAUMONT A HYMN IN THE GLORIOUS EPIPHANIE OF OUR LORD, GOD by RICHARD CRASHAW THE WRECK ON LOCH MCGARRY by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE HYMN: FIRST SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY: 1 by REGINALD HEBER HYMN: SECOND SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY: 1 by REGINALD HEBER HYMN: SECOND SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY: 2 by REGINALD HEBER OLD CHRISTMAS MORNING; A KENTUCKY MOUNTAIN BALLAD by ROY ADDISON HELTON THE EPIPHANY by EMILY HENRIETTA HICKEY EVENING HYMN by REGINALD HEBER HYMN FOR EPIPHANY by REGINALD HEBER LINES WRITTEN TO HIS WIFE [WHILE ON A VISIT TO UPPER INDIA] by REGINALD HEBER |
