In Waiting

By J. M. HOPKINS

J. M. HOPKINS
EARTH has no flowers that do not fade, Nor yet a rose without a thorn; There’s never a light without a shade, Evening follows the fairest morn.
There’s never a life without a pain, Nor yet an eye undimmed by tears; No soul so pure it has no stain, No heart so brave it knows no fears.
My brother, there’s One who always feels The ills and griefs that make you sad; His loving-kindness he reveals To cheer your heart and make you glad.
Do not expect all joy and bliss, A life by sorrow ne’er distressed; Such cannot be in a world like this, It waits you yonder among the blest.
Roseburg, Oregon.
