TO Thee we give ourselves today, Forgetful of the world outside; We tarry in Thy House, O Lord, From eventide to eventide. From Thy all-seeing, righteous eye Our deepest heart can nothing hide; It crieth up to Thee for peace From eventide to eventide. Who could endure, should'st Thou, O Lord, As we deserve, forever chide? We therefore seek Thy pardoning grace From eventide to eventide. O may we lay to heart how swift The years of life do onward glide; So learn to live that we may see Thy light at our life's eventide. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 15 by CONRAD AIKEN A TIME TO DANCE by CECIL DAY LEWIS BEFORE DAWN; SONNET by AMY LOWELL THE NIGHT MOTHS by EDWIN MARKHAM THE PLACE OF PEACE by EDWIN MARKHAM KEATS TO FANNY BRAWNE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
