THE SECRET KNOWLEDGE, by FREDERIC ROWLAND MARVIN Poet's Biography First Line: I have seen god Last Line: And go thy way. Subject(s): God; Knowledge; Secrets | ||||||||
Of that ineffable essence which we call Spirit, he who thinks most will say least.Emerson. I HAVE seen God, Yet what He is I may not say, Lest when you think, And when you pray, What He is not He should appear. Was He begot Of our rude speech? Nay, but to each He is more dear. Forever streams His presence bright, In varied hues, Reflected well In many souls; But who can tell What sweet delight To each is given? I may not preach, You may not hear; There is no rule, Austere command, Or stern decree Of any school, Or creed to teach. No inward strife Can bring him near. Why should you ask Of Him or His? Why seek to know His plan for me? Will thou His will, And go thy way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT THE MUSEE RODIN IN PARIS by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CHANEL NO. 5 by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR EXISTING LIGHT; FOR LEE NYE by MADELINE DEFREES GRETA GARBO AND THE STAR MESSENGER by MADELINE DEFREES ELSINORE IN THE LATE ANCIENT AUTUMN by NORMAN DUBIE MARGARET'S SPEECH by NORMAN DUBIE THE PARALLAX MONOGRAPH FOR RODIN by NORMAN DUBIE THE TREES OF MADAME BLAVATSKY by NORMAN DUBIE A MODERN PREACHER by FREDERIC ROWLAND MARVIN |
