How can I cease to pray for thee? Somewhere In God's wide universe thou art today. Can He not reach thee with His tender care? Can He not hear me when for thee I pray? Somewhere thou livest and hast need of Him, Somewhere thy soul sees higher heights to climb, And somewhere, too, there may be valleys dim Which thou must pass to reach the heights sublime. Then all the more because thou canst not hear Poor human words of blessing, will I pray, O true, brave heart, God bless thee, wheresoe'er In God's wide universe thou art today! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPITAPHIUM CITHARISTRIAE by VICTOR GUSTAVE PLARR SESTINA: ALTAFORTE by EZRA POUND TWO SONGS FROM THE PERSIAN: 2 by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH AT THE LATTICE by ALFRED AUSTIN A CHARACTER OF JOSEPH PRIESTLY by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE SHEPHERD'S PIPE: FOURTH ECLOGUE by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) TO MISS JESSY LEWARS by ROBERT BURNS WRITTEN ON A BLANK LEAF OF HANNAH MORE'S WORKS by ROBERT BURNS |
