Poems (Coolidge)/Go Blithely
GO BLITHELY
Give us to go blithely on our business all this day.—Robert Louis Stevenson
Go blithely! for to serve thy God A joy should ever be; Rejoice! lift up the head,—the heart,— From sadness be thou free.
Go blithely! Footsore, weary, thou? His footsteps went before; Nor lagging tread, nor downcast mien, Thy Saviour can adore.
Go blithely! See! a Pillar glows! No night of darkness, thine! Or one of cloud this day will light By radiance divine.
