PEACE! BE STILL, by ANONYMOUS Last Line: Shepherd mine Subject(s): Immortality | ||||||||
Peace! Be still! In this night of sorrow bow, O my heart! Contend not thou! What befalls thee is God's will Peace! Be still! Peace! Be still! All thy murmuring words are vain God will make the riddle plain. Wait His word and bear His will Peace! Be still! Hold thou still! Though the good Physician's knife Seems to touch thy very life, Death alone He means to kill, Hold thou still! Shepherd mine! From Thy fullness give me still Faith to do and bear Thy will, Till the morning light shall shine, Shepherd mine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WALLACE STEVENS' LETTERS by ROBERT BLY DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING by DAVID IGNATOW I CLOSE MY EYES by DAVID IGNATOW IN 'DESIGNING A CLOAK TO CLOAK HIS DESIGNS' YOU WRESTED FROM OBLIVION by MARIANNE MOORE THE THINGS THAT DIE by GREGORY ORR THE MAN WHO DIED TWICE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON YOUTH'S IMMORTALITY by GEORGE SANTAYANA TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
