THE LAST COMMUNION; IN MEMORY OF MY FATHER, WILFRID WARD, by LEO WARD First Line: There is a time wherein eternity Last Line: Dying, to meet the victory of peace! | |||
There is a time wherein eternity Takes rest upon the world; King Charity Bowed to our fallen state, the God of Grace Made visible upon a human face; -- When the deep Harmony, the eternal Word, The unfallen Wisdom, only love has heard, Touches the troubled body, bruised and hard With the long fight, yet now set heavenward, -- When the deep argument of souls must cease, Dying, to meet the victory of peace! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALLADE OF DEAD FRIENDS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON THE CLOSING SCENE by THOMAS BUCHANAN READ THEOCRITUS; A VILLANELLE by OSCAR WILDE NOVEMBER, 1806 by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH A SONG ABOUT SINGING by ANNE REEVE ALDRICH ENIGMA.
