KNOWN BY HIS WORKS by ALICE CARY

Poet Analysis

First Line: THY WORKS, O LORD, INTERPRET THEE
Last Line: AND THINE THE GLORY OF THE SUN.
Subject(s): GOD;

THY works, O Lord, interpret thee,
And through them all thy love is shown;
Flowing about us like a sea,
Yet steadfast as the eternal throne.

Out of the light that runneth through
Thy hand, the lily's dress is spun;
Thine is the brightness of the dew,
And thine the glory of the sun.
