Renewal of Strength by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
from One Poem Only
Renewal of Strength Frances Ellen Watkins Harper 1825 – 1911 The prison-house in which I liveIs falling to decay,But God renews my spirit’s strengthWithin these walls of clay.For me a dimness slowly creepsAround earth’s fairest light,But heaven grows clearer to my view,And fairer to my sight.It may be earth’s sweet harmoniesAre duller to my ear,But music from my Father’s houseBegins to float more near.Then let the pillars of my homeCrumble and fall away;Lo, God’s dear love within my soulRenews it day by day.
