EVENING, by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS Poet's Biography First Line: O holiest truth! How have I lied to thee! Last Line: Help thou my darkness, lord, till I am light. Alternate Author Name(s): Gregory Of Nazianzen; Nanzianzen, Gregory; Gregory The Theologian | |||
O HOLIEST Truth! how have I lied to Thee! I vow'd this day Thy festival should be: But I am dim ere night. Surely I made my prayer, and I did deem That I could keep in me Thy morning beam, Immaculate and bright. But my foot slipp'd; and, as I lay, he came, My gloomy foe, and robbed me of heaven's flame. Help Thou my darkness, Lord, till I am light. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAMENT OF KING ARTASHES WHEN DYING by GREGORY A HERMITAGE by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS MORNING by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS THE MARRIED AND THE SINGLE; A FRAGMENT by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS THE PRIESTLY OFFICE by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS TO GOD by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS THE FISH by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE TEMPER (1) by GEORGE HERBERT RIDDLE: TEETH AND GUMS by MOTHER GOOSE METAMORPHOSES: BOOK 8.
