LIFT UP THINE EYES TO SEEK THE INVISIBLE, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Golden jerusalem floats full in view Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): God; Faith; Saints | |||
Lift up thine eyes to seek the invisible: Stir up thy heart to choose the still unseen: Strain up thy hope in glad perpetual green To scale the exceeding height where all saints dwell. Saints, is it well with you ? ''" Yea, it is well, ''" Where they have reaped, by faith kneel thou to glean: Because they stooped so low to reap, they lean Now over golden harps unspeakable. ''" - But thou purblind and deafened, knowest thou Those glorious beauties unexperienced By ear or eye or by heart hitherto ? ''" I know Whom I have trusted: wherefore now All amiable, accessible tho' fenced, Golden Jerusalem floats full in view. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ST.
