Strong Son of God

Uit ‘In Memoriam’

STRONG Son of God, immortal Love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;

Thine are these orbs of light and shade;
Thou madest Life in man and brute;
Thou madest Death; and lo, thy foot
Is on the skull which thou hast made.

Thou wilt not leave us in the dust:
Thou madest man, he knows not why;
He thinks he was not made to die;
And thou hast made him: thou art just.


De eerste drie coupletten van een langer gedicht van Lord Tennyson (1809 - 1892)
Gewoon....omdat het mooi is.
Net als 'Lost Love'
