THE VOICE OF A SOUL, by MARGUERITE EMMA LOUGEE First Line: I hear a voice exceeding rare Last Line: And lead me upward to my god. Subject(s): Soul | ||||||||
I hear a voice exceeding rare. It fills the silence everywhere. It speaks to me in wondrous tone -- Till its very thoughts become my own. It raises me to realms above; It fills my heart and soul with love; It guides me on my upward way; It turns my darkness into day. O still, small Voice, abide with me! In life, in death, still speak to me. Call me from beneath the sod And lead me upward to my God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRUEL FALCON by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE WHOLE SOUL by PHILIP LEVINE I KNOW MY SOUL by CLAUDE MCKAY HONORING THE SAND; IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL by ROBERT BLY THE CHINESE PEAKS; FOR DONALD HALL by ROBERT BLY THE LIFE OF TOWNS: TOWN OF THE EXHUMATION by ANNE CARSON |
