GOD KEEP YOU, by MARY AINGE DE VERE First Line: God keep you, dearest, all this lonely night Last Line: God keep you every time and everywhere. Alternate Author Name(s): Bridges, Madeline Subject(s): God; Religion; Theology | ||||||||
GOD keep you, dearest, all this lonely night: The winds are still, The moon drops down behind the western hill; God keep you safely, dearest, till the light. God keep you then when slumber melts away, And care and strife Take up new arms to fret our waking life, God keep you through the battle of the day. God keep you. Nay, beloved soul, how vain, How poor is prayer! I can but say again, and yet again, God keep you every time and everywhere. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY LIFE'S MIRROR by MARY AINGE DE VERE |
