LORD, WE ARE RIVERS RUNNING TO THY SEA by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Sweetness to Thee
Subject(s): RIVERS; WORSHIP; GOD;
Lord, we are rivers running to Thy sea,
Our waves and ripples all derived from Thee:
A nothing we should have, a nothing be.
Except for Thee.

Sweet are the waters of Thy shoreless sea.
Make sweet our waters that make haste to Thee;
Pour in Thy sweetness, that ourselves may be
Sweetness to Thee.
