JESUS (1), by THEODORE PARKER Poet's Biography First Line: Jesus, there is no dearer name than thine Last Line: Nor our weak orbs look through immensity. Subject(s): Jesus Christ | |||
JESUS, there is no dearer name than thine Which Time has blazoned on his mighty scroll; No wreaths nor garlands ever did entwine So fair a temple of so vast a soul. There every virtue set his triumph-seal; Wisdom, conjoined with strength and radiant grace, In a sweet copy Heaven to reveal, And stamp perfection on a mortal face. Once on the earth wert thou, before men's eyes, That did not half thy beauteous brightness see; E'en as the emmet does not read the skies, Nor our weak orbs look through immensity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
