Somewhere the blossoming field of God Never fades, for angels attend the seed. No human foot has ever trod This field, unspoiled by any weed. From moon and planets translucent rays Enhance the glory of bud and leaf. There, dews have gemmed the peaceful sprays. Untouched by dust; unmarred by thief. Appealing lyrics with mellow notes Harmonize with the faintest voice. From blossom cups the perfume floats, Released with cheer; and all rejoice. On prayer they enter who humbly plead. Their tears, like dew, heaven glorifies. Each gathers for the heart-sore need A bloom of peace that never dies. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW IT STRIKES A CONTEMPORARY by ROBERT BROWNING TO HIS MISTRESS by ABRAHAM COWLEY GOOD NIGHT by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE HOCK-CART, OR HARVEST HOME by ROBERT HERRICK IN AN ALBUM by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 27.
