WEARY, by                    
First Line: Some grave is known to god
Last Line: Better to give than death.


SOME grave is known to God,
Some green sequestered sod,
Wrapped in whose fragrant fold
I shall no more grow cold.

And God hath Saints who sing,
And holy hands which bring
Offerings and gifts more meet
Than mine, who clasp His feet.

And ask to toil no more,
But, on the golden shore,
To rest, and dream, and be
As God's dead men are, free.

Yet, since He frees me not,
I wait and wonder what
Undreamed-of thing God hath,
Better to give than death.
