CRIMSON as the rubies, crimson as the roses, Crimson as the sinking sun, Singing on his crimsoned bed each saint reposes, Fought his fight, his battle won; Till the rosy east the day of days discloses, All his work, save waiting, done. Far above the stars, while underneath the daisies, Resting, for his race is run, Unto Thee his heart each quiet saint upraises, God the Father, Spirit, Son; Unto Thee his heart, unto Thee his praises, O Lord God, the Three in One. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR A' THAT AND A' THAT by CHARLES WILLIAM SHIRLEY BROOKS THE SMILING MOUTH by CHARLES D'ORLEANS ASPECTS OF THE PINES by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE THE WIDOW AT WINDSOR by RUDYARD KIPLING SCILLA'S METAMORPHOSIS: MELANCHOLY by THOMAS LODGE MORITURI SALUTAMUS [WE WHO ARE TO DIE SALUTE YOU] by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
