THE STREAM OF FAITH, by WILLIAM CHANNING GANNETT Poet's Biography First Line: From heart to heart, from creed to creed Last Line: That ever-deepening roll! Subject(s): Faith; Religion; Belief; Creed; Theology | ||||||||
From heart to heart, from creed to creed, The hidden river runs; It quickens all the ages down, It binds the sires to sons The stream of Faith, whose source is God, Whose sound, the sound of prayer, Whose meadows are the holy lives Upspringing everywhere. And still it moves, a broadening flood; And fresher, fuller, grows. A sense as if the sea were near Towards which the river flows. O Thou who art the secret Source That rises in each soul, Thou art the Ocean, toothy charm, That ever-deepening roll! | 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 A MOTHER'S BREAST by WILLIAM CHANNING GANNETT AUNT PHILLIS'S GUEST; ST HELENA ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA, 1863 by WILLIAM CHANNING GANNETT |
