I. TOGETHER once, but never more While Time and Death run out their runs: Tho' sundered now as shore from shore, Together once. Nor rising suns, nor setting suns, Nor life renewed which springtide bore, Make one again Death's sundered ones.

Now God knows all that is; and we shall, then, Whatso it be. God's Will is best for man whose will is free. God's Will is better to us, yea, than ten Desires whereof He holds and weighs the key. Amid her household cares He guides the wren, He guards the shifty mouse from poverty; He knows all wants, allots each where and when, Whatso it be. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COSMOPOLITE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 72 by PHILIP SIDNEY TICHBORNE'S ELEGY, WRITTEN IN THE TOWER BEFORE HIS EXECUTION by CHIDIOCK TICHBORNE TO THE STATES.
