Yea, if Thou wilt. Thou canst put up Thy sword; But what if Thou shouldst sheathe it to the hilt Within the heart that sues to Thee, O Lord? Yea, if Thou wilt. For if Thou wilt Thou canst purge Of all, of any, even the most abhorred: Thou canst pluck down, rebuild, build up the unbuilt. Who wanders canst Thou gather by love's cord? Who sinks, uplift from the under-sucking silt To set him on Thy rock within Thy ward? Yea, if Thou wilt. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CREDO by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON AT THE ZOO IN SPAIN by CLARENCE MAJOR SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: ALONZO CHURCHILL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: TENNESSEE CLAFLIN SHOPE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
