Richard Paulson Tender Poems
- 1. The Heavenly Country
There was once a foaming sea
Facing near eternity.
On it, a woman and child
With hair blowing in the wild,
... - 2. The Dawning
Water lilies float down a silent stream;
The watching swamphens and bank willows dream,
At the passing of a fragrant blessing,
Brought to them by a soft wind caressing.
... - 3. Holy Sonnet Of The Reason For The Atonement
Love is tender emotion and fiery;
Who needed an offering for his heart.
Seeing sin made God like the raging sea,
That must shipwreck sin and break it apart.
...
