BURDEN-BEARERS, by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY First Line: Burden-bearers are we all Last Line: To god. Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John Subject(s): Religion; Theology | ||||||||
Burden-bearers are we all, Great and small. Burden-sharers be ye all, Great and small! Where another shares the load, To draw nearer God. Yet there are burdens we can share with none, Save God; And paths remote where we must walk alone, With God; For lonely burden and for path apart -- Thank God! If these but serve to bring the burdened heart To God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY A NEW EARTH by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY |
