The livid lightnings flashed in the clouds; The leaden thunders crashed. A worshipper raised his arm. "Hearken! Hearken! The voice of God!" "Not so," said a man. "The voice of God whispers in the heart "So softly "That the soul pauses, "Making no noise, "And strives for these melodies, "Distant, sighing, like faintest breath, "And all the being is still to hear." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN A CUBAN GARDEN by SARA TEASDALE THE RESOLVE by MARY LEE CHUDLEIGH THE SLAVE AUCTION by FRANCES ELLEN WATKINS HARPER THE NEED FOR MEN by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND AFTER THE PLEASURE PARTY by HERMAN MELVILLE VERLAINE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ITYLUS by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE |
