A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 4, by THOMAS CAMPION Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Out of my soul's depth to thee my cries have sounded Last Line: Their sin-sick souls by him shall be recured Subject(s): God | |||
OUT of my soul's depth to Thee my cries have sounded: Let Thine ears my plaints receive, on just fear grounded. Lord, shouldst Thou weigh our faults, who's not confounded? But with grace Thou censurest Thine when they have erred, Therefore shall Thy blessed Name be loved and feared. Even to Thy throne my thoughts and eyes are reared. Thee alone my hopes attend, on Thee relying; In Thy sacred word I'll trust, to Thee fast flying, Long ere the watch shall break, the morn descrying. In the mercies of our God who live secured, May of full redemption rest in Him assured, Their sin-sick souls by Him shall be recured | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SILENT SHEPHERDS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 9 by THOMAS CAMPION |
