The poetical works of John Greenleaf Whittier | ||
[II. We fast and plead, we weep and pray]
We fast and plead, we weep and pray,From morning until even;
We feel to find the holy way,
We knock at the gate of heaven!
341
And word and sign forbear,
The hinges of the golden gate
Move, soundless, to our prayer!
Who hears the eternal harmonies
Can heed no outward word;
Blind to all else is he who sees
The vision of the Lord!
