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...ESSAY: AT NIGHT THE AUTOPORTRAIT AT NIGHT by ELENI SIKELIANOS ON A TREE FALLEN ACROSS THE ROAD (TO HEAR US TALK) by ROBERT FROST TO HIS WATCH, WHEN HE COULD NOT SLEEP by EDWARD HERBERT SHERMAN'S IN SAVANNAH [DECEMBER 22, 1864] by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES A CHILD'S SONG OF CHRISTMAS by MARJORIE LOWRY CHRISTIE PICKTHALL SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 105 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
