WEARY, by GEORGE ALEXANDER CHADWICK 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COUNSEIL TO A BACHELER by MARIANNE MOORE ROBIN REDBREAST by GEORGE WASHINGTON DOANE PHILOSOPHIES by MADELEINE AARON FROST-WORK by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE OLD BRIDGE by AUGUSTE ANGELLIER TOM O' BEDLAM'S SONG by FRANCIS BEAUMONT EPIGRAM ON AN HOUR-GLASS by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) |
