As I lay sleeping in the park, Buried in the earth, Waiting for the Easter rains To drench me in their mirth And crown my seedtime with some sap and growth, Into the tunnels of my ears Two anaesthetic voices came. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for the Merton Fan, 28 May 1999
By A Customer
Although a mystic and an intellectual, Merton shines as a poet as well. Rarely spoken of, his poetry reflects his simple and eloquent beliefs regarding God. To read his poetry is to glimpse a bit of the Truth that he sought to explain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poems for a lifetime of reflection and contemplation, 25 Aug 1998
By A Customer
The greatest purveyor of paradoxes since Chesterton writes poems reminiscent of Thoreau and Whitman in a style used by the Beat poets. This new age spiritual guru shows us through his poetry just how much literary talent he had. His poems, both literary and spiritual, are as well crafted as his spiritual works. This is a must for any serious Merton reader.
