MANNA, by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER Poet's Biography First Line: Twas in the night the manna fell Last Line: Enough. Dear lord, what want we more? Alternate Author Name(s): Van Deth, Gerrit, Mrs. Subject(s): Blessings; Food & Eating; God; Hunger | |||
'T WAS in the night the manna fell, That fed the hosts of Israel, Enough for each day's fullest store And largest need—enough, no more. For wilful waste, for prideful show, God sent not angels' food below. Still in our nights of deep distress The manna falls our hearts to bless. And, famished, as we cry for bread, With heavenly food our lives are fed. And each day's need finds each day's store Enough. Dear Lord, what want we more? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEVERAL MEASURES FOR THE LITTLE LOST by NORMAN DUBIE THE CORNUCOPIA OF RED AND GREEN COMFITS by AMY LOWELL BIOLUMINESCENCE: 1.
