Oh Thou Of Little Faith!

Topics: classic

Sad-hearted, be at peace: the snowdrop lies         Buried in sepulchre of ghastly snow;         But spring is floating up the southern skies,         And darkling the pale snowdrop waits below.         Let me persuade: in dull December's day         We scarce believe there is a month of June;         But up the stairs of April and of May         The hot sun climbeth to the summer's noon.         Yet hear me: I love God, and half I rest.         O better! God loves thee, so all rest thou.         He is our summer, our dim-visioned Best;--         And in his heart thy prayer is resting now.
