ORGAN SONGS: THE HOLY MIDNIGHT, by GEORGE MACDONALD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Ah, holy midnight of the soul Last Line: Diest and liv'st again. Subject(s): God; Night; Bedtime | ||||||||
AH, holy midnight of the soul, When stars alone are high; When winds are resting at their goal, And sea-waves only sigh! Ambition faints from out the will; Asleep sad longing lies; All hope of good, all fear of ill, All need of action dies; Because God is, and claims the life He kindled in thy brain; And thou in him, rapt far from strife, Diest and liv'st again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN LOST AND FOUND by GEORGE MACDONALD THAT HOLY THING by GEORGE MACDONALD THE BABY, FR.
