THE SEEING EYE, by REGINALD HEBER Poet's Biography First Line: There is an eye that never sleeps Last Line: That love is throned beyond the sky. Subject(s): God; Heaven; Jews; Love; Paradise; Judaism | ||||||||
THERE is an eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts When sink the beams of sight; There is an arm that never tires When human strength gives way; There is a love that never fails When earthly loves decay. That eye is fix'd on seraph throngs, That ear is filled with angels' songs, That arm upholds the worlds on high, That Love is throned beyond the sky. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD A LITTLE HISTORY by DAVID LEHMAN FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN JEWISH GRAVEYARDS, ITALY by PHILIP LEVINE NATIONAL THOUGHTS by YEHUDA AMICHAI SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 2.
