When man to man may waft across the world, A swift-winged message through the ether rare -- Shall rodent doubt still gnaw the roots of faith To kill its fair and fragrant blossom, prayer? If patient men by sutble skill devise Mysterious stations where their thoughts take flight -- Is God less wise, that haply he should miss The orisons that wing the silent night? | 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 |
