My Prayer

By Hannah A. Foster

I wonder if there may not be Somewhere in God's eternity A work-day season, long and bright, For souls belated, whom the night Surprises ere their tasks are done; Who grieve o'er golden threads unspun Because of weariness and set of sun. I know not, yet it seems more blest, More blissful were the soul's sweet rest That sometime, somewhere, shall have wrought Entire life's purpose,— deed or thought— And so I pray, O, if there be A place in God's immensity Where life's work may be Rounded, give it me!
— Hannah A. Foster.
