THE RIVER SHORE, by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK Poet's Biography First Line: Walking by the quiet river Last Line: Calmly from the eternal shore. Alternate Author Name(s): Mulock, Dinah Maria | |||
(For an old tune of Dowland's) WALKING by the quiet river Where the slow tide seaward goes, All the cares of life fall from us, All our troubles find repose: Naught forgetting, naught regretting, Lovely ghosts from days no more Glide with while feet o'er the river, Smiling towards the silent shore. So we pray in His good pleasure When this world we've safely trod, We may walk beside the river Flowing from the throne of God: All forgiving, all believing, Not one lost we loved before, Looking towards the hills of heaven Calmly from the eternal shore. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOUGLAS, DOUGLAS, TENDER AND TRUE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK HER LIKENESS by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK NOW AND AFTERWARDS by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK ONLY A WOMAN by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK PHILIP, MY KING by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A 'MERCENARY' MARRIAGE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A CHILD'S SMILE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A CHRISTMAS CAROL by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A DEAD BABY by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK A DEAD SEA-GULL; NEAR LIVERPOOL by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK |
