RESIGNATION by JAMES HERVEY HYSLOP

First Line: THE SADDER MOMENTS OF A WEARIED HOPE
Last Line: INTO THE CALM MAJESTIC LIFE OF GOD.
Subject(s): DREAMS; GOD; GRIEF; PAIN; NIGHTMARES; SORROW; SADNESS; SUFFERING; MISERY;

THE sadder moments of a wearied hope
Find on their fringe a dream of better days,
And while their aura holds the leash of pain,
That keenly throbs about one's passing joys,
The bitter sweet will fuse its mingled shades
Into the calm majestic life of God.
