Explore "Variant Form of the Preceding Poem" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
COME to me, all ye that labour; I will give your spirits rest; / Here apart in starry quiet I will give you rest.
Come to me, ye heavy laden, sin defiled and care opprest, / In your father's quiet mansions, soon to prove a welcome guest.
But an hour you bear your trial, sin and suffer, bleed and die; / But an hour you toil and combat here in day's inspiring eye.
See the feet of your deliverer; lo, the hour of freedom nigh.
