THOU ART FORMED TO GUIDE, by SARAH C. MAYO First Line: Ay, truly, dearest, thou art form'd to guide Last Line: By hand and heart so steadfast to be led! Alternate Author Name(s): Edgarton, Sarah C. | |||
AY, truly, dearest, thou art form'd to guide; To guide, to shelter, to uphold and bless, And I can walk with brave heart at thy side, Safe in thy spirit's strength and tenderness. Thine eye, so clear, the dim way can discern, No track in life looks doubtful unto thee, Oh, let me take thy hand, and meekly learn The way of duty, sometimes dark to me. Thy mind is like a torch that through the gloom Sheds a clear brightness where our feet should tread; O blessed lot, from altar to the tomb, By hand and heart so steadfast to be led! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ANSWERED PRAYER by SARAH C.
