GOD bless you! God be with you still! God keep you night and day When you are far away. My heart your name will ever bless, My thoughts the thought of you caress, And for you pray. Alone I now must climb the hill; New faces crowd around, New voices near me sound: One dearest voice, and one sweet face That lights for me the darkest place, Will not be found. Yet shall their presence ever fill Dull Memory's day and night With longing and delight, Until, beyond this world of pain, All that is past is ours again, And faith is sight. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MATE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ANSWER TO A CHILD'S QUESTION by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE ODE FOR A SOCIAL MEETING, WITH SLIGHT ALTERATIONS BY A TEETOTALER by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES THE STARLIGHT NIGHT by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THE BLASPHEMER'S WARNING; A LAY OF ST.
