The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
[Sweetness of rest when Thou sheddest rest]
Sweetness of rest when Thou sheddest rest,
Sweetness of patience till then;
Only the Will of our God is best
For all the millions of men.
Sweetness of patience till then;
Only the Will of our God is best
For all the millions of men.
For all the millions on earth today,
On earth and under the earth;
Waiting for earth to vanish away,
Waiting to come to the birth.
On earth and under the earth;
Waiting for earth to vanish away,
Waiting to come to the birth.
