First lines
I will praise God alway for each new year, / Knowing that it shall be most worthy of / His kindness and His pity and His love / I will wait patient, till, from sphere to sphere, / Across large times and spaces, ringeth clear / The voice of Him who sitteth high above, / Saying, "Behold! thou hast had pain enough; / Come; for thy Love is waiting for thee here!"
I know that it must happen as God saith.
I know it well. Yet, also, I know well / That where birds sing and yellow wild-flowers dwell, / Or where some strange new sunset lingereth, / All Earth shall alway of her presence tell / Who liveth not for me this side of death.
