ALL weareth, all wasteth, All flitteth, all hasteth, All of flesh and time: -- Sound, sweet heavenly chime, Ring in the unutterable eternal prime. Man hopeth, man feareth, Man droopeth: -- Christ cheereth, Compassing release, Comforting with peace, Promising rest where strife and anguish cease. Saints waking, saints sleeping, Rest well in safe keeping; Well they rest to-day While they watch and pray, -- But their to-morrow's rest what tongue shall say? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HEROD'S LAMENT FOR MARIAMNE by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE POET AND HIS SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS by ABRAHAM LINCOLN SONNET: 9 by EDNA ST.
