Reflection
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
1850 to 1919
Twice have I seen god's full reflected grace.
Once when the wailing of a child at birth
Proclaimed another soul had come to earth,
That look shone on, and through the mother's face.
And once when silence, absolute and vast,
Followed the final indrawn mortal breath,
Sudden upon the countenance of death
That supreme glory of God's grace was cast.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's Reflection
I am busy working to bring Ella Wheeler Wilcox's "Reflection" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Ella Wheeler Wilcox's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Reflection" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
