LIGHT glorious and eternal, that reveals All earthly things, itself is secret still; Love, silent king of heart, and mind, and will, In lustrous mystery his power conceals; And many a clouded spirit dumbly feels, But knows not, sees not yet, those truths that fill With beauty and with joy the dwellings chill Even of life that wounds, of Death that heals. Yet Light, and Love, and Truth are all our own, And minister to us, who know them not; Fair hopes, that look like memories, will throng E'en hearts that live in darkness and alone, And seem to chant some half-remembered song, The notes recalled, the lovely words forgot. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TWO SONNETS: 2 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ON A FAIR BEGGAR by PHILIP AYRES A MAN'S REQUIREMENTS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING ANTIQUITY OF FREEDOM by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT YARROW VISITED by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH |
