FATHER, THY WILL BE DONE, by SARAH FLOWER ADAMS Poet's Biography First Line: He sendeth sun, he sendeth shower Last Line: Father, thy will, not mine, be done! Alternate Author Name(s): Adams, Sarah Fuller Variant Title(s): Thy Will Be Done! Subject(s): God; Religion; Theology | |||
He sendeth sun, he sendeth shower, Alike they're needful for the flower; And joys and tears alike are sent To give the soul fit nourishment: As comes to me or cloud or sun, Father thy will, not mine, be done! Can loving children e'er reprove With murmurs whom they trust and love? Creator, I would ever be A trusting, loving child to thee: As comes to me or cloud or sun,' Father, thy will, not mine, be done! Oh, ne'er will I at life repine; Enough that thou hast made it mine; When falls the shadow cold of death, I yet will sing with parting breath: As comes to me or shade or sun, Father, thy will, not mine, be done! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES |
