THE daily tribute of the sun Lives on, in tree, and fruit, and flower; Lives on, with subtle change of power, When the last hour of day is done. And what the kindly sun has given, Reborn in many a varied form, Is in the wind, the sea, the storm, And when the lightning flames through heaven, And is itself again; and so Through many ways of diverse change Has love equality of range, And back again as love may flow; For deathless, as God's sunlight still, Its tender ministry renewed In each divine beatitude, Shall love its purposes fulfil. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAST RESERVATION by WALTER LEARNED ARCADIA: SESTINA by PHILIP SIDNEY THE FEAST OF THE DEAD by CHARLOTTE BECKER SONNET (4) by JOACHIM DU BELLAY BEES IN CLOVER; A SONG by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE NEW WORLD; TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES by LAURENCE BINYON THE BANJO FIEND by WILLARD GROSVENOR BLEYER IN VINCULIS; SONNETS WRITTEN IN AN IRISH PRISON: I WILL SMILE NO MORE by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT |
