There is a flight much greater far Than over land and sea, To greater heights the soul aspires Than mortal man shall see; To realms that lie beyond the stars Where souls of men are free, A flight where spirits wing their way Into Eternity. In such a flight the Star of Hope The soul of man doth guide With Faith and Love, across the wastes Unto the other side; By Faith the spirit scales the heights, While Love doth show the way, 'Til morning breaks and shades of night Forever pass away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A PASSER-BY by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES IMPROVEMENT IN THE FORTIES by THOMAS BARNARD OTHER SPRINGS by ROSEMARY BASEFLUG LOVE'S ARROW POISONED by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES TO A SPIRIT (1) by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN A DAY IN THE CASTLE OF ENVY by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT IN VINCULIS; SONNETS WRITTEN IN AN IRISH PRISON: MITIGATIONS by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT |
