ROADSIDE POEMS: WHAT THE LORD SAITH, by GEORGE MACDONALD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Trust my father, saith the eldest-born Last Line: Little ones, I pray you, come to god! Subject(s): Fathers; God; Love; Trust | ||||||||
TRUST my father, saith the eldest-born; I did trust him ere the earth began; Not to know him is to be forlorn; Not to love him isnot to be man. He that knows him loves him altogether; With my father I am so content That through all this dreary human weather I am working, waiting, confident. He is with me; I am not alone; Life is bliss, because I am his child; Down in Hades will I lay the stone Whence shall rise to Heaven his city piled. Hearken, brothers, pray you, to my story! Hear me, sister; hearken, child, to me: Our one father is a perfect glory; He is light, and there is none but he. Come then with me; I will lead the way; All of you, sore-hearted, heavy-shod, Come to father, yours and mine, I pray; Little ones, I pray you, come to God! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EIGHT FOR ORNETTE'S MUSIC by KENNETH REXROTH THIRD BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 27.
