A LITTLE WHILE.

By Bonar

BEYOND the smiling and the weeping We shall be soon; Beyond the waking and the sleeping, Beyond the sowing and the reaping, We shall be soon. Love, rest, and home! Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come.
Beyond the blooming and the fading We shall be soon; Beyond the shining and the shading, Beyond the hoping and the dreading, We shall be soon. Love, rest, and home! Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come.
Beyond the rising and the setting We shall be soon; Beyond the calming and the fretting, Beyond remembering and forgetting, We shall be soon. Love, rest, and home! Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come.
Beyond the gathering and the strewing We shall be soon; Beyond the ebbing and the flowing, Beyond the coming and the going, We shall be soon. Love, rest, and home! Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come.
Beyond the parting and the meeting We shall be soon; Beyond the farewell and the greeting, Beyond the pulse's fever beating, We shall be soon. Love, rest, and home! Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come.
Beyond the frost-chain and the fever We shall be soon; Beyond the rock-waste and the river, Beyond the ever and the never, We shall be soon. Love, rest, and home! Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come.
