A SOUL SO SUNNY, by ETHEL BLACKWELL ROBINSON First Line: I know a soul so sunny Last Line: To thee, where is its home. Subject(s): Soul | ||||||||
I know a soul so sunny -- It lights the path it trod; With it, we're all in sunshine and We glow as with a God! Around it all goes gayly, Each trial it redeems. In helpfulness and heavenliness Its golden pathway gleams. Oh God, call not this soul away. I know full well 'tis thine. But may I, for my little day, Consider that it's mine? I'll never hold it selfishly, All freely it shall roam And find its own way always, God, To Thee, where is its home. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRUEL FALCON by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE WHOLE SOUL by PHILIP LEVINE I KNOW MY SOUL by CLAUDE MCKAY HONORING THE SAND; IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL by ROBERT BLY THE CHINESE PEAKS; FOR DONALD HALL by ROBERT BLY THE LIFE OF TOWNS: TOWN OF THE EXHUMATION by ANNE CARSON RESURRECTION by ETHEL BLACKWELL ROBINSON |
