GRACE AFTER MEAT (1) by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: O THOU, IN WHOM WE LIVE AND MOVE
Last Line: AND WE DESIRE NO MORE. AMEN!
Subject(s): GRACE;

O thou, in whom we live and move --
Who made the sea and shore;
Thy goodness constantly we prove,
And grateful would adore;
And, if it please Thee, Power above!
Still grant us, with such store,
The friend we trust, the fair we love --
And we desire no more. Amen!
