THE THRONE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When with these eyes closed now by thee
Last Line: And say, thy will be done!
Alternate Author Name(s): Silurist


When with these eyes closed now by thee,
But then restored,
The great and white throne I shall see
Of my dread Lord:
And lowly kneeling (for the most
Stiff then must kneel)
Shall look on him, at whose high cost
(Unseen) such joys I feel.

Whatever arguments, or skill
Wise heads shall use,
Tears only and my blushes still
I will produce.
And should those speechless beggars fail,
Which oft have won;
Then taught by thee, I will prevail,
And say, Thy will be done!
