SHOW ME THY WAY, by LUCY LARCOM Poet's Biography First Line: Dark the night, the snow is falling Last Line: Show me thy way! Subject(s): God | ||||||||
DARK the night, the snow is falling; Through the storm are voices calling; Guides mistaken and misleading, Far from home and help receding: Vain is all those voices say: Show me Thy way! Blind am I as those who guide me; Let me feel Thee close- beside me! Come as light into my being! Unto me be eyes, All-Seeing! Hear my heart's one wish, I pray: Show me Thy way! Son of Man and Lord Immortal, Opener of the heavenly portal, In Thee all my hope is hidden; Never yet was soul forbidden Near Thee, close to Thee, to stay: Show me Thy way! Thou art Truth's eternal morning; Led by Thee, all evil scorning, Through the paths of pure salvation, I shall find Thy habitation, Whence I never more shall stray: Show me Thy way! Thou must lead me, and none other; Truest Lover, Friend, and Brother, Thou art my soul's shelter, whether Stars gleam out, or tempests gather: In Thy presence night is day: Show me Thy way! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SILENT SHEPHERDS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
