I've heard the first couple of lines of that one--but don't know that I've ever seen the second set.<br /><br /> "Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; the clouds ye so much dread<br />Are big with mercy, and shall break<br />With blessing on your head."<br /><br />What a wonderful reminder.

Sorry a couple of you are sick; get well soon!<br /><br />I don't know anything about Cowper, but I did like this poem. I need to find more of his work!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08733406219995902188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118355.post-57889956869394472512010-05-31T13:39:23.317-07:002010-05-31T13:39:23.317-07:00We're taking it pretty easy today, too -- no b...We're taking it pretty easy today, too -- no big family gatherings for Memorial Day as one son had to work, one is at a friend's, and a couple of the rest of us are sick. It's a good thing we grilled yesterday, because it's been raining since last night!<br /><br />I do enjoy this poem -- I like most of Cowper's. Knowing something of his struggles, his poems are "preaching to himself," reminding himself of those truths as well as the reader.<br /><br />Thanks for participating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
