First Line: We sighed of old till underneath his feet
Last Line: A sigh for rest.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb

We sighed of old till underneath His feet
Our pulses beat,
Again to sigh in restlessness until
He saith, "Be still."

And with us is the ever-moving wind,
And all mankind --
A triple chorus -- each upheaving breast,
A sigh for rest.
