Poet Analysis

First Line: NOR SHALL I IN SORROW REPINE
Last Line: TO BREAK THE ETERNAL AMEN!

Nor shall I in sorrow repine,
But offer a pæan of praise
To the infinite God of my days
Who marshals the pivoting spheres
Through the intricate maze of the years,
Who loosens the luminous flood
That lightens the purlieus of men,
I shall not in sorrow repine
To break the eternal Amen!
