MANY a flower hath perfume for its dower, And many a bird a song, And harmless lambs milkwhite beside their dams Frolic along; Perfume and song and whiteness offering praise In humble peaceful ways. Man's high degree hath will and memory, Affection and desire, By loftier ways he mounts of prayer and praise; Fire unto fire, Deep unto deep responsive, height to height, Until he walk in white. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BLUEFLAGS by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE BEST [THING IN THE WORLD] by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING ALNWICK CASTLE by FITZ-GREENE HALLECK BILL AND JOE by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES SHERMAN'S IN SAVANNAH [DECEMBER 22, 1864] by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES O, BREATHE NOT HIS NAME! by THOMAS MOORE |
