REST

And l desire, what / have long desired
Rest-only rest.
Ills hard TO toll, when toll is almost vain,
In barren ways;
lis hard to sow and never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear,
But God knows best;
/ have prayed but vain has been my prayer,
For rest-sweet rest.
It's hard to plant in Spring and never reap
The autumn yield;
,Tis hard to till, and when tits titled 10

Ger fruitless field.
And SO | cry weak and human cry,
So heart oppressed;
And so ! sigh weak and human sigh,
For rest--sweet rest.
Ny way has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
My path, and through the flowing of hot
tears
pine for rest.
And am restless still; twill soon be Ger;
For down the west
Lies sun is setting, and see the shore
Where | shall rest.
