The Long View

Topics: classic

Some day of days! Some dawning yet to be     I shall be clothed with immortality!     And, in that day, I shall not greatly care     That Jane spilt candle grease upon the stair.     It will not grieve me then, as once it did,     That careless hands have chipped my teapot lid.     I groan, being burdened. But, in that glad day,     I shall forget vexations of the way.     That needs were often great, when means were small,     Will not perplex me any more at all     A few short years at most (it may be less),     I shall have done with earthly storm and stress.     So, for this day, I lay me at Thy feet.     O, keep me sweet, my Master! Keep me sweet!
