A POEM THAT HAS NO TITLE
The entire poem generally talks about God. Jose Rizal begins by referring God as the one who soothed him in his great loss and gave him repose in his troubles. Despite everything he has been through, he still expresses his gratitude towards God for everything he has given him whether to be good or bad. There is always hope through prayer, we must always ask for God's guidance and be thankful for all the blessings he bestowed in our life.
To my Creator I sing
Who did soothe me in my great loss;
To the Merciful and Kind
Who in my troubles gave me repose.
Thou with that pow'r of thine
Said: Live! And with life myself I found;
And shelter gave me thou
And a soul impelled to the good
Like a compass whose point to the North is bound.
Thou did make me descend
From honorable home and respectable stock,
And a homeland thou gavest me
Without limit, fair and rich
Though fortune and prudence it does lack.
Who did soothe me in my great loss;
To the Merciful and Kind
Who in my troubles gave me repose.
Thou with that pow'r of thine
Said: Live! And with life myself I found;
And shelter gave me thou
And a soul impelled to the good
Like a compass whose point to the North is bound.
Thou did make me descend
From honorable home and respectable stock,
And a homeland thou gavest me
Without limit, fair and rich
Though fortune and prudence it does lack.
