YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOR EVER; A GREEK ACROSTIC THRICE TRIPLED, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Ah! The weary cares and fears
Last Line: I n god's house to dwell forever.
Subject(s): God; Love


A H! the weary cares and fears,
E arnest yearnings through the years
I s it not a vale of tears?

A h! the love we gladly greet
E ver now is incomplete;
I f the melody be sweet,

A nd the harmony be true,
E arlier loss is more in view,
I ll forebodings shadow through.

A fter wintry frost and rime,
E ven now, the heavenly chime
I s a pledge of summer time.

A nchorage within the veil,
E ver steadfast, cannot fail,
I f the wildest storms assail.

A ngel songs of love are clearer,
E arth is brighter, death is dearer,
I f the heavenly home be nearer.

A ll in perfect union brought,
E very link which God has wrought
I n the chains of loving thought:

A ll our dear ones, far asunder,
E ach shall join the anthem-thunder
I n our future joy and wonder.

A ll shall come where naught shall sever,
E ndless meeting, parting never,
I n God's house to dwell forever.
