 | The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti |  |
[Man's life is but a working day]
Man's life is but a working dayWhose tasks are set aright:
A time to work, a time to pray,
And then a quiet night.
And then, please God, a quiet night
Where palms are green and robes are white;
A long-drawn breath, a balm for sorrow,
And all things lovely on the morrow.
