A DAILY MIRACLE, by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL Poet's Biography First Line: June's sunshine on the broad porch shines Last Line: And scorning it is scorning him. Alternate Author Name(s): Hedbrooke, Andrew | |||
JUNE'S sunshine on the broad porch shines Through tangled curtains of crossing vines; The restless dancing of the leaves Dusky webs of shadow weaves, That wander on the oaken floor, Or cross the threshold of the door. Scattered where'er their mazes run Lie little phantoms of the sun: Whatever chink the sunbeam found, Crooked or narrow, on the ground The shadowy image still is round. So the image of God in the heart of a man, Which truth makes, rifting as it can Through the narrow crooked ways Of our restless deeds and days, Still is His image -- bright or dim -- And scorning it is scorning Him. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A PRAYER by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL AMONG THE REDWOODS by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL OPPORTUNITY by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL THE FOOL'S PRAYER by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL A BAKER'S DUZZEN UV WIZE SAWZ by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL A BIRD'S SONG by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL A CALIFORNIAN'S DREAMS by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL A CHILD AND A STAR by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL A DEAD BIRD IN WINTER by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL |
