WHO HAVE A FORM OF GODLINESS', by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When I am sick and tired it is god's will
Last Line: Nor fainting though the time be almost past
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Poverty; Solitude; Weariness; God


When I am sick and tired it is God's will:
Also God's will alone is sure and best: ''"
So in my weariness I find my rest,
And so in poverty I take my fill.
Therefore I see my good in midst of ill.
Therefore in loneliness I build my nest,
And through hot noon pant toward the shady west.
And hope in sickening disappointment still.
So, when the times of restitution come,
The sweet times of refreshing come at last,
My God shall fill my longings to the brim:
Therefore I wait and look and long for Him:
Not wearied though the work is wearisome.
Nor fainting though the time be almost past.
