LEAF FROM LEAF CHRIST KNOWS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: To thee all spirits and all dust
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Leaf from leaf Christ knows;
Himself the Lily and the Rose:

Sheep from sheep Christ tells;
Himself the Shepherd, no one else:

Star and star He names.
Himself outblazing all their flames:

Dove by dove, He calls
To set each on the golden walls:

Drop by drop. He counts
The flood of ocean as it mounts:

Grain by grain, His hand
Numbers the innumerable sand.

Lord, I lift to Thee
In peace what is and what shall be:

Lord, in peace I trust
To Thee all spirits and all dust.
