ALL weareth, all wasteth, All flitteth, all hasteth, All of flesh and time: -- Sound, sweet heavenly chime, Ring in the unutterable eternal prime. Man hopeth, man feareth, Man droopeth: -- Christ cheereth, Compassing release, Comforting with peace, Promising rest where strife and anguish cease. Saints waking, saints sleeping, Rest well in safe keeping; Well they rest to-day While they watch and pray, -- But their to-morrow's rest what tongue shall say? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOLY SONNET: ANNUNCIATION by JOHN DONNE THE ANNUNCIATION by EDWIN MUIR ANNUNCIATIO B.V. by JOSEPH BEAUMONT THE ANNUNCIATION by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN THE ANNUNCIATION by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS THE ANNUNCIATION by ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTER FEAST OF THE ANNUNCIATION by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE ANNUNCIATION (1) by JOHN BANISTER TABB IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
