BEYOND horizon's bar in twilight splendid, The sun moves calmly onward in his mellow light, And turns his reddened glow on watching millions; Who, flushed with wond'ring ecstasy, are chained By beauty and sublimity in firmest grasp Of worship, silent and serene, and living Divinely patient for the morrow, with its task Of quiet duties, hardly borne, until the hour When nature's art and passion kindles equally The mood of faith, of courage, and of reverence. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 4 by MARK JARMAN QUIA ABSURDUM by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS SONNET TO FORTUNE by LUCY AIKEN JONATHAN EDWARDS IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS by ROBERT LOWELL RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION by MINA LOY |
