THIS TOO WILL PASS, by                    
First Line: Poor heart, break not, though cruel be thy wound
Last Line: His heart of love thine every sorrow shares!
Subject(s): Religion; Wellesley College; Theology


POOR heart, break not, though cruel be thy wound, --
This too will pass!
The weariest day will end in sunset light,
And dawn must follow e'en the darkest night!

Nor drink too deeply of joy's honeyed cup, --
This too will pass!
Caressing hands will lose their loving touch,
And words mean nothing, that once meant so much.

Ah, then, whate'er thy state, seek thou content, --
This will not pass!
Thy rest in God, He only knows and cares,
His heart of love thine every sorrow shares!
