A LAND THAT MAN HAS NEWLY TROD by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER

Poet Analysis

First Line: A LAND THAT MAN HAS NEWLY TROD
Last Line: AND YET THERE BE MEN WHO QUESTION GOD!
A land that man has newly trod,
A land that only God has known,
Through all the soundless cycles flown.
Yet perfect blossoms bless the sod,
And perfect birds illume the trees
And perfect unheard harmonies
Pour out eternally to God.
A thousand miles of mighty wood
Where thunder-storms stride fireshod;
A thousand flowers every rod,
A stately tree on every rood;
Ten thousand leaves on every tree,
And each a miracle to me;
And yet there be men who question God!
