ALL BENEATH THE SUN HASTETH, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: All hopeful, day is nearing
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Nature; Hope


All beneath the sun hasteth,
All that hath begun wasteth;
Earth-notes change in tune
With the changeful moon,
Which waneth
While earth's chant complaineth.

Plumbs the deep, Fear descending;
Scales the steep, Hope ascending;
Faith betwixt the twain
Plies both goad and rein,
Half fearing,
All hopeful, day is nearing.
