We know as we grow older And our eyes have clearer sight That under each sad wrong, somewhere There lies the root of right! We know that the soul is aided Sometimes by the heart's unrest And to grow, means often to suffer That whatever is -- is best. We know there are few errors In the great eternal plan, And that all things work together For the final good of man. That each sorrow has its purpose By the sorrowing, oft unguessed: That as sure as the sun brings morning, Whatever is -- is best. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE DEATH OF A METAPHYSICIAN by GEORGE SANTAYANA THE YELLOW BADGE by RUTH SCHECHTER ALEXANDER ELEGIAC SONNET TO A MOPSTICK by WILLIAM BECKFORD TO THE AUTHOR OF TEUCHSA GRONDIE by LEVI BISHOP FRANCESCA DA RIMINI by GEORGE HENRY BOKER |
