Part In Peace: Is Day Before Us? Poem by Sarah Flower Adams

Simple sentiments shared elegantly

Beautiful hymn, great poet.

Deep faith and trust laid in God.. always Part In Peace, the sense of calm all pervasive and enables commune with the almighty.. enjoyed reading. thanks for sharing.

This is a wonderful poem devoted to the divine bliss of the Almighty that governs us and navigates our journey with the sense of purpose in life. I bow my head and pay my homage to the memory of a distinguished poet- Sara Flower Adams. Gracious service to the living, Tranquil memory to the dead.

I'm not religious but I like the line: Part in peace: with deep thanksgiving, Rendering, as we homeward tread, Gracious service to the living, Tranquil memory to the dead. May we be gracious to the living and have tranquil memories of our dead loved ones. I like the metaphor of aging closer to death as shadows lengthening over us. And when we die the sun has set and nightfall is upon us. To the religious God is the one who guards the night. I like the alliteration in the last line. Nice structure, the syllables are pretty even. Does anyone know if this has a metrical structure?

Concise hymn, clear enough what it is about. Great song and lyrics.5 Stars Full. Congrats on being chosen by Poem Hunter and Team as The Classic Poem Of The Day.. Also to the family of the late poetess

Nicely embellished with poetic rhyme and rhythm. A beautiful piece of poetry...

'Such the worship that upraises Human hearts to heavenly rest.'...very truely said....fabulously divine poem

We are here seeking the peace, but we, human the seller of sorrow, not the happiness; God is the merciful guide of our souls and it's time to pray Him for our peaceful life.
