LONGINGS

The world is full of care: I long to find some garden of repose, Where hedges thick and green shall round me close, And balsams fill the air.
The world is full of woe, Its narrow streets are choking with the dust, Where beggars scramble for a wretched crust, And clamour as they go.
The world is full of sin: Poor human hearts are crushed and overborne; But most I feel my own, and weep and mourn For that which burns within.
O sin, and woe, and care! God help us to arise and cast aside, In the strong help of him who loved and died, These burdens of despair!
—Christian Age.
