Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Allah

from The German Of Mahlmann

Allah - meaning Summary

Comfort in Divine Care

This short lyric addresses Allah as a comforting, restorative presence who brings light in darkness and renews what sorrow has worn. It contrasts earthly transience — withering flowers and vanishing years — against a heart that endures and longs for the divine dwelling. The speaker finds hope in eventual vision and rest with Allah, expressing consolation and a yearning for spiritual reunion beyond mortal suffering.

Allah gives light in darkness, Allah gives rest in pain, Cheeks that are white with weeping Allah paints red again. The flowers and the blossoms wither, Years vanish with flying fleet; But my heart will live on forever, That here in sadness beat. Gladly to Allah's dwelling Yonder would I take flight; There will the darkness vanish, There will my eyes have sight.
