A LITTLE WHILE.

By Bonar

Beyond the smiling and the weeping, I shall be soon; Beyond the waking and the sleeping, Beyond the sowing and the reaping, I shall be soon. Love, rest and home! Sweet home! Lord, tarry not, but come.
Beyond the blooming and the fading, I shall be soon; Beyond the shining and the shading, Beyond the hoping and the dreading, I shall be soon. Love, rest and home! Sweet home! Lord, tarry not, but come.
Beyond the rising and the setting, I shall be soon; Beyond the calming and the fretting, Beyond remembering and forgetting, I shall be soon. Love, rest and home! Sweet home! Lord, tarry not, but come.
Beyond the parting and the meeting, I shall be soon; Beyond the farewell and the greeting, Beyond the pulse’s fever beating, I shall be soon. Love, rest and home! Sweet home! Lord, tarry not, but come.
Beyond the frost-chain and the fever, I shall be soon; Beyond the rock-waste and the river, Beyond the ever and the never, I shall be soon. Love, rest and home! Sweet home! Lord, tarry not, but come.—Bonar.
