THE BIBLE, by THOMAS TRAHERNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: That! That! There I was told Last Line: And shall be sated with celestial mirth. Subject(s): Bible | ||||||||
1 That! That! There I was told That I the son of God was made, His image. O divine! And that fine gold, With all the joys that here do fade, Are but a toy, compared to the bliss Which heavenly, God-like, and eternal is. 2 That we on earth are kings; And, tho we're cloth'd with mortal skin, Are inward cherubins; have angels' wings; Affections, thoughts, and minds within, Can soar through all the coasts of Heaven and earth; And shall be sated with celestial mirth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...O TO BE A DRAGON by MARIANNE MOORE BIBLICAL MEDITATIONS by YEHUDA AMICHAI KING DAVID DANCES by JOHN BERRYMAN THE DREAM SONGS: 234.
