THE DAY IS AT HAND, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Watch yet a while
Last Line: Who served for us, who reigns for us above.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


WATCH yet a while,
Weep till that day shall dawn when thou shalt smile:
Watch till the day
When all save only Love shall pass away.
Then Love rejoicing shall forget to weep,
Shall hope or fear no more, or watch or sleep,
But only love and stint not, deep beyond deep.
Now we sow love in tears, but then shall reap.
Have patience as True Love's own flock of sheep:
Have patience with His Love
Who served for us, Who reigns for us above.
