I AM Yesterday, To-day, and To-morrow, The Divine Hidden Soul who created the gods, And who feedeth the blessed. I am Lord of the Risers from Death, Whose Forms are the lamps in the House of the Dead Whose shrine is the Earth. When the sky is illumined with crystal, Then gladden my road and broaden my path And clothe me in light. Keep me safe from the Sleeper in Darkness, When eventide closeth the eyes of the god And the door by the wall. In the dawn I have opened the Sycamore; My Form is the form of all women and men, My spirit is God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SITTING BULL IN SERBIA by WILLIAM JAY SMITH TO THE EXCELLENT ORINDA by PHILO PHILIPPA EPIGRAM OCCASIONED BY CIBBER'S VERSES IN PRAISE OF NASH: 1 by ALEXANDER POPE THE GIFT OF THE GODS by JOHN GODFREY SAXE TO CHRISTOPHER NORTH by ALFRED TENNYSON BEAU NASH by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER BEAU NASH AND THE ROMAN, OR THE TWO ERAS by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
