HERE AND THERE.

By Alice Cary

HERE is the sorrowing, the sighing, Here are the clouds and the night, Here is the sickness, the dying; There are the life and the light.

Here is the fading, the wasting, The foe that so watchfully waits; There are the hills everlasting, The city with beautiful gates.

Here are the locks growing hoary, The glass with the vanishing sands; There are the crown and the glory, The house that is not made with hands.

Here is the longing, the vision, The hopes that so swiftly remove; There is the blessed fruition, The feast, and the fullness of love.

Here are the heart-strings a-tremble, And here is the chastening rod; There are the song and the cymbal, And there is our Father and God. —Alice Cary.
