Sometimes the heart grows weary with the load
or efforts fruitIess grown, and withered hopes
or love that sought in vain to pour itself
Freely and fully forth into the hearts
OF others, Gods appointed cups for love;
Sometimes the heart grows weary with the sight
OF those whom God made men with living souls,
Croveiing. if not in crime, in vice-'f not
In vice, in that rank emptiness aud sloth
That rot souls pIecemeal even ere they XIII;
Some times the heart grows weary with the lin
Of wealth, and cry Of want, ami su!en laugh
Of holy sorrow curdling into hate
Ay, with that groan Of universal woe
Whcrewith the whole creation, as Of yore,
Trsvaileth in pain together until now;
Sometimes the heart grows weary, very weary.
And then the Small Voice saith, ''Sow on in faith
Sow the good seed! another after thee
