A vision fairof clouds, and sky, And lightnings flashing bright, Of Heaven's portals open wide And souls of men in flight, Of Earth dissolving 'neath the fire And fullness of the Time, Of Sun, and Moon, and Stars forgot In Glory Light sublime. Within that Light stands forth revealed The Christ of Calvary, While lightnings flashing 'round the world Disclose His Majesty; Angels and loved ones Him surround On clouds that float in air, While Heaven sends all Glory down To do Him honor there. | 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 A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND ANTHEM by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS |
