"Be still, my heart, be still," why grieve? Can you not bear awhile your load? The brave go on, nor need the goad To keep on toiling. They believe, Though gall and vinegar may leave A throat still parched, as God-man showed. "Be still, my heart, be still," why grieve? Can you not bear awhile your load? For He could drain the dregs and heave His heavy cross along the road To Calvary, as on He strode. Though life and lovers may deceive, Can you not bear awhile your load? "Be still, my heart, be still," why grieve? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LAMPS OF LABOR by MARIE TELLO PHILLIPS THE GOAL by MARIE TELLO PHILLIPS THE STARRY HEIGHTS by MARIE TELLO PHILLIPS YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN by MARIE TELLO PHILLIPS YOUR LETTERS by MARIE TELLO PHILLIPS VASHTI by FRANCES ELLEN WATKINS HARPER COLUMBUS AND THE MAYFLOWER by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES SONNET: 55 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE |
