The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
[Thro' burden and heat of the day]
Thro' burden and heat of the day
How weary the hands and the feet
That labour with scarcely a stay,
Thro' burden and heat!
How weary the hands and the feet
That labour with scarcely a stay,
Thro' burden and heat!
Tired toiler whose sleep shall be sweet,
Kneel down, it will rest thee to pray:
Then forward, for daylight is fleet.
Kneel down, it will rest thee to pray:
Then forward, for daylight is fleet.
Cool shadows show lengthening and grey,
Cool twilight will soon be complete:
What matters this wearisome way
Thro' burden and heat?
Cool twilight will soon be complete:
What matters this wearisome way
Thro' burden and heat?
