Explore "Some Verses: Poems: I HAVE SEEN WHAT THE SERAPHS HAVE SEEN" by Helen Hay Whitney on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I have seen what the seraphs have seen / As they gaze thro' the limitless air -- / Thro' the wind and the clouds to the lean / Pale face of the moon, and the bare / Bright flame of the sun, unaware, / I have seen what the seraphs have seen!
Thro' the limitless spaces of air / The brave mists that waver and wane / Are patient and pallid and fair. / I have fathomed the pride and the pain / Of the snows and compassionate rain / Thro' the limitless spaces of air.
I have known them, the brave mists that wane / And the glory and peace of the skies. / Where all strife and impatience are vain / And ahush are all passionate sighs, / For I gazed in the deeps of Love's eyes, / And I know what no seraphs shall gain!
