ANOTHER FRANCIS OF ASSISI, by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER First Line: The music of a stream made him rejoice Last Line: I know for sure he listened to god's words. | |||
The music of a stream made him rejoice And brought a solace that all men must seek. For him the roll of thunder was no voice From mighty Heaven in judgment of the weak. He knew it for the sky's own counterpart To the mountain flood when spring releases snows In a tumbling roar. He'd quickly find the heart Of summer in the essence of a rose. On throbbing prairie nights beyond compare, When day long since had closed the crimson bars, With moonlight gently balanced in the air, He'd hold communion with a million stars. And once beneath tall trees, in the song of birds, I know for sure he listened to God's words. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANTIQUE JEWELER by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER MINSTREL OF THE SUN by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER THE BLUE AND THE GRAY by FRANCIS MILES FINCH THE ALTAR STONE by RICHARD ALEXANDER THE STEAM-ENGINE: CANTO 10.
