'EYE hath not seen': -- yet man hath known and weighed A hundred thousand marvels that have been: What is it which (the Word of Truth hath said) Eye hath not seen? 'Ear hath not heard': -- yet harpings of delight, Trumpets of triumph, song and spoken word, Man knows them all: what lovelier, loftier might Hath ear not heard? 'Nor heart conceived': -- yet man hath now desired Beyond all reach, beyond his hope believed, Loved beyond death: what fire shall yet be fired No heart conceived? 'Deep calls to deep': -- man's depth would be despair But for God's deeper depth: we sow to reap. Have patience, wait, betake ourselves to prayer: Deep answereth deep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TYRANNICK [TYRANNIC] LOVE: SONG by JOHN DRYDEN GASCOIGNE'S WOODMANSHIP by GEORGE GASCOIGNE LONDON VOLUNTARIES: 3.
