DISTINQUISH god in your imaginings From men that die, think not of him as flesh. You know him not. Sometimes he leaps in fire, Swift, unapproachable; sometimes in water Comes, or in the darkness clothed about, And still is god in likeness of a beast, In wind, cloud, lightning, thunder and rain. The sea and all the rocks therein obey him; Springs, rivers, tributaries all are his. The mountains tremble, earth and the nethermost depths Of monstrous ocean, earth and the mountain-tops Tremble before the terrible eye of god, A lord most powerful, in praise most high. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE POET (2) by ISAAC ROSENBERG A CHRISTMAS HYMN (OLD STYLE: 1837) by ALFRED DOMETT A MUSICAL by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR FLOWER-GATHERING by ROBERT FROST THE CONVERGENCE OF THE TWAIN; LINES ON LOSS OF THE TITANIC by THOMAS HARDY TO THE LADYBIRD by MOTHER GOOSE CLEOPATRA by WILLIAM WETMORE STORY THE STRANGER'S ALMS by HENRY ABBEY GREENES FUNERALLS: SONNET 10.
