THE HUMANITARIAN, SELECTION, by ANGELA MORGAN Poet's Biography First Line: Seeing how the world suffered and bled Last Line: On the enduring tablet of the human heart. Subject(s): Jesus Christ | ||||||||
Seeing how the world suffered and bled, He said: "My life shall bring Help to that suffering." Seeing how the earth had need Of sheer joy and beauty Above all bitter creed Of cruel penitence and duty, And how mankind Thirsted and cried for joy it could not find, His heart made quick reply, "Men shall know happiness before I die!" He who brings beauty to the lives of men Needeth no tribute of recording pen. His deeds are graven in a place apart, On the enduring tablet of the human heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
