LENTEN GREETING; TO A LADY, by GEORGE SANTAYANA Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: They must find it sweet to pray Last Line: Will have joy as of a psalm. Subject(s): Lent | |||
They must find it sweet to pray Who like you have understood All the charm of being good, All the worth of being gay. By the thought that we are clay, Is proud grief itself subdued, May the secret of the Rood In your sorrow be your stay! Spring your pleasures will renew, For the heart is merry after That to Heaven hath been true; And, more low for Lenten calm, Then the music of your laughter Will have joy as of a psalm. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN ANNUAL OF THE DARK PHYSICS by NORMAN DUBIE THE THIEF IN THE PAINTING by LARRY LEVIS ASHWEDNESDAY by JOSEPH BEAUMONT DELIA AND I by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE HYMN: FIFTH SUNDAY IN LENT by REGINALD HEBER HYMN: FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT by REGINALD HEBER |
