THE BUSH THAT BURNED, by LOIS MOYLES First Line: He stood beside a bush that burned Last Line: Softly and sweetly speaking to me. Subject(s): Goths; Roderick, King Of The Visigoths (d. 711) | ||||||||
He stood beside a bush that burned, And listened to a wondrous sound, "Take the shoes from off thy feet, For where thou standest is holy ground." There's a bush that burns in my own backyard And lo, from the fire of that autumn-drest tree I often have heard the voice of my God, Softly and sweetly speaking to me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LAMENT OF DON RODRIGO by UNKNOWN PENITENCE OF DON RODERICK by UNKNOWN MARSHALL WASHER by HAYDEN CARRUTH SOHRAB AND RUSTUM by MATTHEW ARNOLD HYMN OF THE EARTH by WILLIAM ELLERY CHANNING (1817-1901) TENEBRIS by ANGELINA WELD GRIMKE THE SNOWING OF THE PINES' by THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON THE LIP AND THE HEART by JOHN QUINCY ADAMS |
