LORD, GRANT US CALM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Lord, grant us calm, if calm can set forth thee
Last Line: Or vanish like a smoke to set forth thee.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


LORD, grant us calm, if calm can set forth Thee;
Or tempest, if a tempest set Thee forth;
Wind from the east or west or south or north,
Or congelation of a silent sea,
With stillness of each tremulous aspen tree.

Still let fruit fall, or hang upon the tree;
Still let the east and west, the south and north,
Curb in their winds, or plough a thundering sea;
Still let the earth abide to set Thee forth,
Or vanish like a smoke to set forth Thee.
