THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER

Poet Analysis

First Line: I THINK THE BIRDS IN THAT FAR DAWN
Last Line: SHALL BE HIS CHILDREN IN THE JUDGMENT DAY.
I think the birds in that far dawn
Were still. The bustling town below
Lay listening. Its strength was drawn
To him, as tides that inward flow.
All Galilee lay still. Far fields of corn
Lay still to hear that silent, sacred morn.
Be comforted; and blessed be
The meek, the merciful, the pure
Of heart; for they shall see, shall hear
God's mercy. So shall peace endure
With God's peacemakers. They are His, and they
Shall be His children in the Judgment Day.
