COME, soft and soothing -- Angel voice of song. Anguish and sorrow I have suffered long. Soft as tears or falling rain, Lightly touch my heart in pain, As to flowers Evening showers Dying hopes restore. Sweet as by fountains Wooing birds may sing, Deep as the echoes Ocean winds may bring, Let thy measures ebb and flow -- And my soul enraptured go Swanlike sailing, -- Dreams prevailing -- On thy waves of sound. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CENTER OF GRAVITY by DAVID IGNATOW SERVICE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SPRINGTIME by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
