You are the torch that came to light, The dark of night for me; Of the locked door of wisdom's store, You are the illumined key. Your hands hold power to break my chains, The power to set me free. You are the sight of my blind eyes, The sight for me to see. You are the truth, of timeless youth, The peace and harmony, To set my feet upon the path, Through time eternally; To lead me from the seeming real, To true reality. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SEASONS by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE BLUE AND THE GRAY by FRANCIS MILES FINCH ON THE SLAIN COLLEGIANS by HERMAN MELVILLE THE MARSEILLAISE by CLAUDE JOSEPH ROUGET DE LISLE HER FIRST-BORN by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER |
