"I SHALL BE SATISFIED."

By S. J. Thayer

Not here:—my roses bear too many thorns: My gold has in it too much of alloy; The purple of my robe to oft adorns An aching soul; my sweets to often cloy.
Not now:—the present has too much of pain— Too much, alas, of mingled hope and fear; I set my loss to often ’gainst my gain: I shall be satisfied not now, not here.
But there! but then! in Heaven!—when I wake In His dear likeness who for me once died; O, fount of bliss! in thee once let me slake My life-long thirst—I shall be satisfied!
Selected for Review by S. J. Thayer.
