WEARY, by GEORGE ALEXANDER CHADWICK First Line: Some grave is known to god Last Line: Better to give than death. | |||
SOME grave is known to God, Some green sequestered sod, Wrapped in whose fragrant fold I shall no more grow cold. And God hath Saints who sing, And holy hands which bring Offerings and gifts more meet Than mine, who clasp His feet. And ask to toil no more, But, on the golden shore, To rest, and dream, and be As God's dead men are, free. Yet, since He frees me not, I wait and wonder what Undreamed-of thing God hath, Better to give than death. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT THE MERMAID TAVERN (APRIL 10, 1613) by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE MASTER'S TOUCH by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR THE FUTURE LIFE by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE NOBLEMAN AND THE PENSIONER by GOTTLIEB KONRAD PFEFFEL SNOWBOUND by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER JUDITH by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH IN MEMORY: MISS JEWETT by GRACE ALLERTON ANDREWS |
