FRIENDS: 4, by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: O patron saints of all my friends Last Line: I pray you every day. | |||
O patron Saints of all my friends! O guardian Angels of them all! With them begins, with them still ends, My prayer's most passionate call. You know my voice: you know their names, That wing so its least selfish tone Across your white celestial flames, And up to the White Throne. Heaven were not Heaven, and they not there; Heaven were no Heaven, my friends away: O Saints and Angels! hear my prayer, I pray you every day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHURCH OF A DREAM; TO BERNHARD BERENSON by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON THE DARK ANGEL by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON A FRIEND by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON CELTIC SPEECH by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON ENTHUSIASTS by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON HILL AND VALE by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON LOVE'S WAYS by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON MYSTIC AND CAVALIER by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON OXFORD by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON |
