Classic and Contemporary Poetry
REST WHERE YOU ARE, by CHARLES POOLE CLEAVES
First Line: When spurred by tasks unceasing or undone
Last Line: Rest where you are.
First Line: When spurred by tasks unceasing or undone
Last Line: Rest where you are.
When spurred by tasks unceasing or undone
You would seek rest afar
And cannot, though the rest be fairly won,
Rest where you are.
Not in event, restriction, or release,
In journeys near or far,
But in the heart lies restlessness or peace,
Rest where you are.
