THE POWER OF GOD, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Distinquish god in your imaginings Last Line: "a lord most powerful, in praise most high" Subject(s): God | |||
DISTINQUISH god in your imaginings From men that die, think not of him as flesh. You know him not. Sometimes he leaps in fire, Swift, unapproachable; sometimes in water Comes, or in the darkness clothed about, And still is god in likeness of a beast, In wind, cloud, lightning, thunder and rain. The sea and all the rocks therein obey him; Springs, rivers, tributaries all are his. The mountains tremble, earth and the nethermost depths Of monstrous ocean, earth and the mountain-tops Tremble before the terrible eye of god, A lord most powerful, in praise most high. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
