A QUESTION: 2; SONNET, by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK Poet's Biography First Line: Soul, dwelling oft in god's infinitude Last Line: Alone, even as thou camest, alone, to god? Alternate Author Name(s): Mulock, Dinah Maria | |||
SOUL, dwelling oft in God's infinitude, And sometimes seeming no more part of me -- This me, worms' heritage -- than that sun can be Part of the earth he has with warmth imbued, -- Whence camest thou? whither goest thou? I, subdued With awe of mine own being -- thus sit still, Dumb, on the summit of this lonely hill, Whose dry November-grasses dew-bestrewed Mirror a million suns -- That sun, so bright, Passes, as thou must pass, Soul, into night: Art thou afraid, who solitary hast trod A path I know not, from a source to a bourne, Both which I know not? fear'st thou to return Alone, even as thou camest, alone, to God? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOUGLAS, DOUGLAS, TENDER AND TRUE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK HER LIKENESS by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK NOW AND AFTERWARDS by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK ONLY A WOMAN by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK PHILIP, MY KING by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A 'MERCENARY' MARRIAGE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A CHILD'S SMILE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A CHRISTMAS CAROL by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A DEAD BABY by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A DEAD SEA-GULL; NEAR LIVERPOOL by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK |
