Are you very weary? Rest a little bit. In some quiet corner, fold your hands and sit. Do not let the trials that have grieved you all the day Haunt this quiet corner; drive them all away! Let your heart grow empty of every thought unkind That peace may hover round you, and joy may fill your mind. Count up all your blessings, I'm sure they are not few, That the dear Lord daily just bestows on you. Soon you'll feel so rested, glad you stopped a bit, In this quiet corner, to fold your hands and sit. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
