I GREET THEE, by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS Poet's Biography First Line: Oh, kindred soul, I give thee greeting Last Line: God bless thee, my own sunlight fair! Subject(s): Soul | |||
OH, kindred soul, I give thee greeting, E'en as we greet the sunshine bright, Which, after winter's night, uncloses The springtide days of warmth and light! As 'neath Spring's kisses, warm and tender, The flowers their bright faces show, So thou within my heart dost conjure The first green blade of hope to grow. And from that heart, to new life kindled, Doth softly rise an earnest prayer, That God this sunbeam ever guarding Will its light always to me spare. Whatever tempests may assail me, My trusting heart will ne'er despair: Oh, kindred soul, I give thee greeting! God bless thee, my own sunlight fair! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRUEL FALCON by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE WHOLE SOUL by PHILIP LEVINE I KNOW MY SOUL by CLAUDE MCKAY HONORING THE SAND; IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL by ROBERT BLY THE CHINESE PEAKS; FOR DONALD HALL by ROBERT BLY THE LIFE OF TOWNS: TOWN OF THE EXHUMATION by ANNE CARSON |
