RIVER of Plenty and the Peace of God -- Of all His streams the chosen since His feet By thy round cliffs our new-world beauty trod -- (Eldest of all our soil His face to greet:) Rejoice anew, O River of the Heart, To have in human glory such a part! From out the heights of Fame's diviner air Unto his kind this message and this call: @3Labor is Happiness and Hope and Prayer; There is no Progress but the good of all; Of every bondage Love is the release, Nor less with Time God's Plenty and His Peace.@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I SING OF LOVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ITALIAN PICTURES: THE COSTA SAN GIORGIO by MINA LOY BREST LEFT BEHIND by JOHN CHIPMAN FARRAR THE BELEAGUERED CITY by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW FOR MY OWN TOMBSTONE by MATTHEW PRIOR WRITTEN AT AN INN AT HENLEY by WILLIAM SHENSTONE IN NOVEMBER by ANNE REEVE ALDRICH |
