IN RECOMPENSE, by GERTRUDE B. GUNDERSON First Line: I crave a sentient soul-in recompense Last Line: The voice of god throughout his universe. Subject(s): Melodies; Music & Musicians | ||||||||
I crave a sentient soulin recompense For weary, laden hands and crowded days Alive to music of the world at work, The hum of streets, the song of glad highways. To whispering of ships across the sea, Fantasias on the softly throbbing air; To nocturnes of the forest in the dusk The melody and rhythm everywhere; Roulades of mystic carriers of thought, To cadences all childrens' feet rehearse; Te Deum of the mountains, march of plains The voice of God throughout his universe. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINER NOTES TO AN IMAGINARY PLAYLIST by TERRANCE HAYES VARIATIONS: 13 by CONRAD AIKEN BELIEVE, BELIEVE by BOB KAUFMAN ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN MUSIC by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES THE POWER OF MUSIC by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES DISILLUSIONMENT by GERTRUDE B.
