ABOVE THE HEAVENS, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: Above the gold the sunbeams fling Last Line: Come down to me and you! Subject(s): Religion; Theology | ||||||||
Above the gold the sunbeams fling With bird-songs drifting through, God's glory is a richer thing, And sweeter singing, too. Above the azure wide and high, The steady, candid blue, God's glory is a vaster sky, Illimitably true. Above the faintest, farthest star In distant chaos wrought, God's glory, infinitely far, Transcends our feeble thought. Yet God's rich glow and God's great song, And God's vast heaven of blue, And God's far starlight ages long, Come down to me and you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY A BATTLE SONG (WRITTEN IN THE WORLD WAR) by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
