I know a soul so sunny -- It lights the path it trod; With it, we're all in sunshine and We glow as with a God! Around it all goes gayly, Each trial it redeems. In helpfulness and heavenliness Its golden pathway gleams. Oh God, call not this soul away. I know full well 'tis thine. But may I, for my little day, Consider that it's mine? I'll never hold it selfishly, All freely it shall roam And find its own way always, God, To Thee, where is its home. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DESIRE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON I WANT TO LIVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM by AMY LOWELL GOD AND MY COUNTRY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS A FOOL, A FOUL THING, A DISTRESSFUL LUNATIC by MARIANNE MOORE |
