SWEETNESS OF REST WHEN THOU SHEDDEST REST by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Waiting to come to the birth
Subject(s): END TIME; PATIENCE;

Sweetness of rest when Thou sheddest rest.
Sweetness of patience till then;
Only the Will of our God is best
For all the millions of men.

For all the millions on earth to-day,
On earth and under the earth;
Waiting for earth to vanish away,
Waiting to come to the birth.
