Poems (Coolidge)/Be Not Weary
"BE NOT WEARY"
Why weariest thou?
For not far spent the day as yet!
Why linger then with vain regret,
With furrowed brow and lashes wet?
Ah! hearken now.
For not far spent the day as yet!
Why linger then with vain regret,
With furrowed brow and lashes wet?
Ah! hearken now.
In due time thou
A harvest rich shalt surely reap;
And though the path be rough and steep
His angels charge o'er thee shall keep;
Take courage now.
A harvest rich shalt surely reap;
And though the path be rough and steep
His angels charge o'er thee shall keep;
Take courage now.
Faint still art thou?
Nay, Faith the shadows shall dispell;
With Christ for guide all will be well,
And peace the calm of heaven foretell,
Yea, even now.
