BEYOND THE MERIDIAN - ZaunköniG - 10.08.2014 BEYOND THE MERIDIAN A LITTLE rest, a little rest, O God! Ere the long darkness shuts me from the day, Let me have time to see the morning lay Her lavish gold upon the hills and, shod With purple, pass where vestal eve hath trod The starry lanes of midnight. I would stay A-near the cool and healing grass, and pray As prays the violet from the mossy sod, Taking the rain and sunshine as from Thee, Scarce conscious that it asks, but glad withal Simply to live. My tired soul would see Green buds and fritillaries, and would call For priest-like nature's benedicite, Ere death's eclipse upon mine eyelids fall". |
