All heaven is blazing yet With the meridian sun: Make haste, unshadowing sun, make haste to set; O lifeless life, have done. I choose what once I chose; What once I willed, I will; Only the heart its own bereavement knows; O clamorous heart, lie still. That which I chose, I choose; That which I willed, I will; That which I once refused, I still refuse: O hope deferred, be still. That which I chose and choose And will is Jesusfb!'!' Will: He hath not lost his life who seems to lose: O hope deferred, hope still. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THANKSGIVING DAY by LYDIA MARIA CHILD MADRIGAL by WILLIAM DRUMMOND OF HAWTHORNDEN GASCOIGNE'S GOOD MORROW by GEORGE GASCOIGNE TO HIS MISTRESS by ROBERT HERRICK LINES TO THE MEMORY OF ANNIE WHO DIED AT MILAN, JUNE 6, 1860 by HARRIET BEECHER STOWE |
