THE TRUE NEED, by THOMAS CURTIS CLARK First Line: But this: to know thy life, without a stain Last Line: But flood me with thy beams, thou perfect light! Subject(s): Religion; Theology | |||
I do not wish to see my sins more plain, But this: to know Thy life, without a stain. I would not see the vileness of my heart, But this would know: how pure and true Thou art. I would forget my paltry life, so small, And know Thy greatness, Thou, my All in All. Oh! teach me not how deep my spirit's night, But flood me with Thy beams, Thou Perfect Light! | 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 A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY ABRAHAM LINCOLN by THOMAS CURTIS CLARK |
