SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 4, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: Thou art the pride and passion Last Line: His secret in my heart. Subject(s): Eden | |||
Thou art the pride and passion Of the garden where God said, "Let us make a man." To fashion The beauty of thy head, The iron aeons waited And died along the hill, Nor saw the uncreated Dream of the urging will. A thousand summers wandered Alone beside the sea, And guessed not, though they pondered, What his design might be. But here in the sun's last hour, (So fair and dear thou art!) He shuts in my hand his flower, His secret in my heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I HAVE BEEN A STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND' by RITA DOVE MORE THEOLOGY by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS TWO TREES IN KATHMANDU by KAREN SWENSON SPRING by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THEOLOGY by EDWARD JAMES HUGHES PARADISE LOST: BOOK 1 by JOHN MILTON A SONG OF THE WESTERN EDEN by HOPE S.
