SPIRITUAL SONNET: THE STREAM OF LIFE, by WILLIAM WRIGHTSON EUSTACE ROSS Poet's Biography First Line: Angelic figures gliding in the stream Last Line: Minds where a lasting melody is sung. Alternate Author Name(s): Ross, W. W. E. Subject(s): Angels; Life | ||||||||
Angelic figures gliding in the stream Of life, with a celestial sky above, Show forth, embody the great rule of love There underneath the illuminating beam That through this spiritual zone doth gleam, Making, itself, those mobile natures move Though none against the benign current strove Through the bright regions where fair spirits teem; Where all is life and motion that employs The energies ever of the creative light That gleams and shows each heavenly nature young, The living light, mild, active, in the night Even, of earth, most steadily fills with joys Minds where a lasting melody is sung. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD SAYING YES TO LIVING by DAVID IGNATOW THE WORLD IS SO DIFFICULT TO GIVE UP by DAVID IGNATOW A DEATH by WILLIAM WRIGHTSON EUSTACE ROSS IF ICE by WILLIAM WRIGHTSON EUSTACE ROSS SPIRITUAL SONNET: ON ANGELS by WILLIAM WRIGHTSON EUSTACE ROSS |
