HARK, TEN THOUSAND HARPS AND VOICES!, by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Oh, strong and sweet these tones that seek the sky! Last Line: Till unto god who hears his whole world sings. Alternate Author Name(s): Chandler, Ellen Louise Subject(s): Music & Musicians; Worship | ||||||||
OH, strong and sweet these tones that seek the sky! Oh, sweet and strong the praises that I hear! When all hearts thrill, as one, with love and fear, And all these voices, as with one voice, cry; And Fear says, "Tremble, for God's throne is high;" And Love says, "Trust, because His heart is near, And all ye children to His heart are dear, And God is love, and shall in love reply." And then the music soars, as if on wings, And echoes fond the ecstasy prolong, Till waiting choirs of angels catch the song, And they in heaven and we on earth unite To sing His praise, and glorify His might, Till unto God who hears His whole world sings. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN RUSSIAN CATHEDRAL by CLAUDE MCKAY LITTLE WHITE CHURCH by MARILYN NELSON A STEEPLE ON THE HOUSE by ROBERT FROST MATE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ANSWER TO PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS by GEORGE SANTAYANA A PAINTED FAN by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON |
