ONE OF EARTH'S ANGELS, by ARTHUR PETERSON Poet's Biography First Line: Now art thou beautiful, thou child of light! Last Line: Thy presence to such heights hath lifted me! Subject(s): Angels | |||
Now art thou beautiful, thou child of light! Now with thy hair tossed back and figure still; I drink thy beauty with a raptured sight -- I drink till soul and senses it doth fill; O do not move, but sit forever so, And let me gaze, and never, never go! So bright, bright as the morn, thou breathest there; Unconscious as the rose, or golden-rod, How things so beautiful do upward bear The soul into the very airs of God! O angel golden-haired, unknown to thee, Thy presence to such heights hath lifted me! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MINISTERING ANGELS by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG ST.
