John Henry Newman Life Poems

  • 1.
    O that Thou wouldest rend the breadth of sky,
    That veils Thy presence from the sons of men!
    O that, as erst Thou camest from on high
    Sudden in strength, Thou so would'st come again!
    ...
  • 2.
    'Snapdragon' a Riddle for a Flower Book

    I am rooted in the wall
    Of buttress'd tower or ancient hall;
    ...
  • 3.
    TODAY the Blessed Three in One
    Began the earth and skies;
    Today a Conqueror, God the Son,
    Did from the grave arise;
    ...
  • 4.
    Dear Frank, this morn has usher'd in
    The manhood of thy days;
    A boy no more, thou must begin
    To choose thy future ways;
    ...

    Soft, and delicate, and bright,
    Are the robes they love.
    ...

    Death was full urgent with thee, Sister dear,
    And startling in his speed;â??
    Brief pain, then languor till thy end came nearâ??
    Such was the path decreed,

    'Man goeth forth' with reckless trust
    Upon his wealth of mind,

    Earth trim her fields and leaf her copses cold;
    Till the dull month with summer-splendours vie.
    ...
