RECOGNITION, by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK Poet's Biography First Line: When souls that have put off their mortal gear Last Line: Some secret sense shall cry, 't is you and -- you! | |||
WHEN souls that have put off their mortal gear Stand in the pure, sweet light of heaven's day, And wondering deeply what to do or say, And trembling more with rapture than with fear, Desire some token of their friends most dear, Who there some time have made their happy stay, And much have longed for them to come that way, What shall it be, this sign of hope and cheer? Shall it be tone of voice or glance of eye? Shall it be touch of hand or gleam of hair Blown back from spirit-brows by heaven's air, -- Things which of old we knew our dearest by? Oh, naught of this; but, if our love is true, Some secret sense shall cry, 'T is you and -- you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A WEDDING SONG by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK BALD-CAP REVISITED by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK BY THE SEA-SHORE by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK FULL CYCLE by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK HIS MOTHER'S JOY by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK KING EDWIN'S FEAST by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK LULLABY by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK MUGFORD'S VICTORY by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK STARLIGHT by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK THE ABIDING LOVE by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK |
