ARIDITY, by             Poem Explanation         Poet's Biography
First Line: O soul, canst thou not understand
Last Line: That quiet waiteth for his voice
Alternate Author Name(s): Field, Michael (with Edith Emma Cooper)
Subject(s): Religion




O soul, can'st thou not understand
Thou art not left alone,
As a dog to howl and moan
His master's absence?


Thou art as a book
Left in a room that
He forsook,
But returns to by and by,


A book of His dear choice,-
That quiet waiteth for His Hand,
That quiet waiteth for His Eye,
That quiet waiteth for His Voice.
