O GOD! who mad'st earth, sea, and air, And living creatures, free and fair, Thy hallow'd praise is everywhere, Halleluja! All blended in the swelling song Are wise and simple, weak and strong, Sweet woman's voice and infant's tongue, Halleluja! Yea, woods and winds and waves convey To the rapt ear a hymn, and say "He who hath made us we obey, Halleluja!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SILENT SHEPHERDS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS A MOTHER TO HER WAKING INFANT by JOANNA BAILLIE |
