SOMEWHERE, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: How can I cease to pray for thee? Somewhere
Last Line: In god's wide universe thou art today!
Subject(s): Immortality


How can I cease to pray for thee? Somewhere
In God's wide universe thou art today.
Can He not reach thee with His tender care?
Can He not hear me when for thee I pray?
Somewhere thou livest and hast need of Him,
Somewhere thy soul sees higher heights to climb,
And somewhere, too, there may be valleys dim
Which thou must pass to reach the heights sublime.
Then all the more because thou canst not hear
Poor human words of blessing, will I pray,
O true, brave heart, God bless thee, wheresoe'er
In God's wide universe thou art today!
