For the life given, and for the life preserved In peril past, and peace and joy and hope, We thank Thee, Lord. For every function of this mortal frame, The mortal temple of Thy heavenly flame, Whose complex wonders Thy great love proclaim, We thank Thee, Lord. For all Thy bounties through the varying years, Granting of hopes and lightening of fears, For Thy Great Givings, Thy Forgivings Great, We thank Thee, Lord. | 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 |
