LOVE, by KATRINA TRASK Poet Analysis First Line: O power of love, o wondrous mystery! Last Line: Through thee, my soul has spread her folded wings. Alternate Author Name(s): Trask, Kate Nichols | |||
O POWER of Love, O wondrous mystery! How is my dark illumined by thy light, That maketh morning of my gloomy night, Setting my soul from Sorrow's bondage free With swift-sent revelation! yea, I see Beyond the limitation of my sight And senses, comprehending now, aright, To-day's proportion to Eternity. Through thee, my faith in God is made more sure, My searching eyes have pierced the misty veil; The pain and anguish which stern Sorrow brings Through thee become more easy to endure. Love-strong I mount, and Heaven's high summit scale; Through thee, my soul has spread her folded wings. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO KNOW IN REVERIE THE ONLY PHENOMENOLOGY OF THE ABSOLUTE by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE PLACE OF PEACE by EDWIN MARKHAM THE DIORAMA PAINTER AT THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY by KAREN SWENSON VIGNETTES OVERSEAS: 10.
