IS any grieved or tired? Yea, by God's Will: Surely God's Will alone is good and best: O weary man, in weariness take rest, O hungry man, by hunger feast thy fill. Discern thy good beneath a mask of ill, Or build of loneliness thy secret nest: At noon take heart, being mindful of the west; At night wake hope, for dawn advances still. At night wake hope. Poor soul, in such sore need Of wakening and of girding up anew, Hast thou that hope which fainting doth pursue? No saint but hath pursued and hath been faint; Bid love wake hope, for both thy steps shall speed, Still faint yet still pursuing, O thou saint. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VERSES TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF YORK by JOHN DRYDEN PARTED by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR PSALM 137.
