Feet o' Jesus Poem by Langston Hughes

Feet o' Jesus

Rating: 4.8


At the feet o' Jesus,
Sorrow like a sea.
Lordy, let yo' mercy
Come driftin' down on me.

At the feet o' Jesus
At yo' feet I stand.
O, ma little Jesus,
Please reach out yo' hand.

There isn't much to say here - this poem is a devout prayer that packs a punch, but is only two stanzas long. I think Hughes had a gift for saying a lot in very few lines. It's more than a simple prayer, though. I can't explain it because I haven't got the depth for this kind of work. All I know is it's one of his most excellent poems.
