ORGAN SONGS: EVENING HYMN, by GEORGE MACDONALD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: O god, whose daylight leadeth down Last Line: Go wandering toward thee. Subject(s): Evening; Forgiveness; God; Prayer; Sunset; Twilight; Clemency | ||||||||
O GOD, whose daylight leadeth down Into the sunless way, Who with restoring sleep dost crown The labour of the day! What I have done, Lord, make it clean With thy forgiveness dear; That so to-day what might have been, To-morrow may appear. And when my thought is all astray, Yet think thou on in me; That with the new-born innocent day My soul rise fresh and free. Nor let me wander all in vain Through dreams that mock and flee; But even in visions of the brain, Go wandering toward thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FORGIVING MY FATHER by LUCILLE CLIFTON WHAT WE CARRY; FOR DONALD by DORIANNE LAUX THE MAN WITH THE HOE OUTWITTED by EDWIN MARKHAM SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: ELMER BARR by EDGAR LEE MASTERS LEAVING CHURCH EARLY by JOHN UPDIKE LOST AND FOUND by GEORGE MACDONALD THAT HOLY THING by GEORGE MACDONALD THE BABY, FR.
