“Ζευς παντων αυτος φαρμακα μουνος εχει
.”
Simonides
Simonides
Such was the rest, Simonides,
Wherein thy tender heart found ease;
A heart which most feels human woes,
Mostly beneath them finds repose:—
Wherein thy tender heart found ease;
A heart which most feels human woes,
Mostly beneath them finds repose:—
That 'mid the ways by sorrow trod
Healing of all ills is with God;—
And haply by some power to save,
A remedy beyond the grave.
Healing of all ills is with God;—
And haply by some power to save,
A remedy beyond the grave.
“Thou hast destroyed thyself, but in Me is thine help.”
Hos xiii. 9.
For all the pains the body shake,
For all the woes the spirit break,
For all the lesser ills of life,—
The loss—the sorrow—and the strife,—
For all the woes the spirit break,
For all the lesser ills of life,—
The loss—the sorrow—and the strife,—
For worst of all the deep heart-aches,
When to itself the Conscience wakes,
Man's sole self-refuge still must prove
His rest upon mysterious love.
When to itself the Conscience wakes,
Man's sole self-refuge still must prove
His rest upon mysterious love.
