O WIND! GOD'S WIND!, by ALICE HANSCHE SORENSON First Line: O wind! God's wind! You swept across Last Line: Where he may reign supreme. Subject(s): Death; Graves; Dead, The; Tombs; Tombstones | ||||||||
O wind! God's wind! You swept across A million stars tonight, And cleared away the mist to leave them Beautiful and bright; O, come and breathe thy cool, clean air Across my earthworn soul, Sweep all the ragged threads away And leave me truly whole. O, sweep away each petty care And brush my hearthstone clean, So God will come and talk with me, Where He may reign supreme. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SUBJECTED EARTH by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE GRAVE OF MRS.
