baby fell asleep "Kookoorookoo! kookoorookoo!" Baby cry Eight o'clock Bread
and milk for breakfast There's snow on the fields Dead in the cold, a
song-singing thrush I dug and dug amongst the snow A city plum is not a
plum Your brother has a falcon Hear what the mournful linnets say A baby's
cradle with no baby in it Hop-o'-my-thumb and little Jack Horner Hope is
like a harebell trembling from its birth O wind, why do you never rest
Crying, my little one, footsore and weary Growing in the vale A linnet in a
gilded cage Wrens and robins in the hedge My baby has a mottled fist Why
did baby die If all were rain and never sun O wind, where have you been On
the grassy banks Rushes in a watery place Minnie and Mattie Heartease in my
garden bed If I were a Queen What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow There is
but one May in the year The summer nights are short The days are clear
Twist me a crown of wind-flowers Brown and furry A toadstoll comes up in a
night A pocket hankerchief to hem If a pig wore a wig Seldom "can't" 1 and
1 are 2 How many seconds in a minute What will you give me for my pound
January cold desolate What is pink? a rose is pink Mother shake the
cherry-tree A pin has a head, but has no hair Hopping frog, hop here and be
seen Where innocent bright-eyed daisies are The city mouse lives in a house
What does the donkey bray about Three plum buns A motherless soft lambkin
Dancing on the hill-tops When fishes set umbrellas up The peacock has a
score of eyes Pussy has a whiskered face The dog lies in his kennel If hope
grew on a bush I planted a hand Under the ivy bush There is one that has a
head without an eye If a mouse could fly Sing me a song The lily has an air
Margaret has a milking-pail In the meadow - what in the meadow A frisky
lamb Mix a pancake The wind has such a rainy sound Three little children
Fly away, fly away over the sea Minnie bakes oaten cakes A white hen
sitting Currants on a bush I have but one rose in the world Rosy maiden
Winifred When the cows come home the milk is coming Roses blushing red and
white "Ding a ding" A ring upon her finger "Ferry me across the water" When
a mounting skylark sings Who has seen the wind The horses of the sea O
sailor, come ashore A diamond or a coal An emerald is green as grass Boats
sail on the rivers The lily has a smooth stalk Hurt no living thing I
caught a little ladybird All the bells were ringing Wee wee husband I have
a little husband The dear old woman in the lane Swift and sure the swallow
"I dreamt I caught a little owl" What does the bee do I have a Poll parrot
A house of cards The rose with such a bonny blush The rose that blushes
rosy red Oh fair to see Clever little Willie wee The peach tree on the
southern wall A rose has thorns as well as honey Is the moon tired? she
looks so pale If stars dropped out of heaven "Goodbye in fear, goodbye in
sorrow" If the sun could tell us half If the moon came from heaven O Lady
Moon, your horns point toward the east What do the stars do Motherless baby
and babyless mother Crimson curtains round my mother's bed Baby lies so
fast asleep I know a baby, such a baby Lullaby, oh lullaby Lie a-bed Poems

"OUT OF THE DEEP HAVE I CALLED UNTO THEE, O LORD"
Alone Lord God, in Whom our trust and peace Seven vials hold Thy wrath: but
what can hold "Where neither rust nor moth doth corrupt" "As the sparks fly
upwards" Lord, make us all love all: that when we meet O Lord, I am ashamed
to seek Thy Face It is not death, O Christ, to die for Thee Lord, grant us
eyes to see and ears to hear "Cried out with Tears" O Lord, on Whom we gaze
and dare not gaze "I will come and heal him" Ah, Lord, Lord, if my heart
were right with Thine "The gold of that land is good" Weigh all my faults
and follies righteously Lord, grant me grace to love Thee in my pain Lord,
make me one with Thine own faithful ones "Light of Light"
CHRIST OUR ALL IN ALL
"The ransomed of the Lord" Lord, we are rivers running to Thy sea "An
exceeding bitter cry" O Lord, when Thou didst call me, didst Thou know
"Thou, God, seest me" Lord Jesus, who would think that I am Thine "The Name
of Jesus" Lord God of Hosts, most Holy and most High Lord, what have I that
I may offer Thee If I should say "my heart is in my home" Leaf from leaf
Christ knows Lord, carry me. - Nay, but I grant thee strength Lord, I am
here. - But, child, I look for thee New creatures; the Creator still the
Same "King of kings and lord of lords" Thy Name, O Christ, as incense
streaming forth "The Good Shepherd" "Rejoice with Me" Shall not the Judge
of all the earth do right Me and my gift: kind Lord, behold "He cannot deny
Himself" "Slain from the foundation of the world" Lord Jesu, Thou art
sweetness to my soul I, Lord, Thy foolish sinner low and small "Because He
first loved us" Lord, hast Thou so loved us, and will not we As the dove
which found no rest "Thou art Fairer than the children of men" "As the
Apple Tree among the trees of the wood" None other Lamb, none other Name
"Thy Friend and thy Father's Friend forget not" "Surely He has borne our
griefs" "They toil not, neither do they spin" Darkness and light are both
alike to Thee "And now why tarriest thou?" Have I not striven, my God, and
watched and prayed "God is our Hope and Strength" Day and night the Accuser
makes no pause O mine enemy Lord, dost Thou look on me, and will not I
"Peace I leave with you" O Christ our All in each, our All in all Because
Thy Love hath sought me Thy fainting spouse, yet still Thy spouse "Like as
the hart desireth the water brooks" "That where I am, there ye may be also"
"Judge not according to the appearance" My God, wilt Thou accept, and will
not we A chill blank world. Yet over the utmost sea "The Chiefest among ten
thousand" ("O Jesu, better than thy gifts")

GIFTS AND GRACES
Love loveth Thee, and wisdom loveth Thee Lord, give me love that I may love
Thee much "As a king,....unto the King" O ye who love today Life that was
born today "Perfect Love casteth out Fear" Hope is the counterpoise of fear
"Subject to like Passions as we are" Experience bows a sweet contented face
"Charity never Faileth" "The Greatest of these is Charity" All beneath the
sun hasteth If thou be dead, forgive and thou shalt live "Let Patience have
her perfect work" ("Can man rejoice who lives in hourly fear?") Patience
must dwell with Love, for Love and Sorrow "Let everything that hath breath
praise the Lord" What is the beginning? Love. What the course? Love still
Lord, make me pure Love, to be love, must walk Thy way Lord, I am feeble
and of mean account Tune me, O Lord, into one Harmony "They shall be as
white as snow" Thy lilies drink the dew "When I was in trouble I called
upon the Lord" Grant us such grace that we may work Thy Will "Who hath
despised the day of small things?" "Do this, and he doeth it" "That no man
take thy Crown" "Ye are come unto Mount Sion" "Sit down in the lowest room"
"Lord, it is good for us to be here" Lord, grant us grace to rest upon Thy
word
THE WORLD. SELF-DESTRUCTION
"A vain Shadow" "Lord, save us, we perish" What is this above thy head
Babylon the Great "Standing afar off for the fear of her torment" "O
Lucifer, Son of the Morning!" Alas, alas! for the self-destroyed As froth
on the face of the deep "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched" Toll, bell, toll. For hope is flying
DIVERS WORLDS. TIME AND ETERNTIY Earth has clear call of daily bells
"Escape to the Mountain" I lift mine eyes to see: earth vanisheth "Yet a
little while" ("Heaven is not far, though far the sky") "Behold, it was
very good" "Whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive" This near-at-hand
land breeds pain by measure "Was Thy Wrath against the Sea?" "And there was
no more Sea" Roses on a brier We are of those who tremble at Thy word
"Awake, thou that sleepest" We know not when, we know not where "I will
lift up mine eyes unto the Hills" ("When sick of life and all the world")
"Then whose shall those things be?" "His Banner over me was Love" Beloved,
yield thy time to God, for He Time seems not short The half moon shows a
face of plaintive sweetness "As the Doves to their windows" Oh knell of a
passing time Time passeth away with its pleasure and pain "The Earth shall
tremble at the Look of Him" Time lengthening, in the lengthening seemeth
long "All Flesh is Grass" Heaven's chimes are slow, but sure to strike at
last "There remaineth therefore a Rest to the People of God" Parting after
parting "They put their trust in Thee, and were not confounded" Short is
time, and only time is bleak For Each For All
NEW JERUSALEM AND ITS CITIZENS
"The Holy City, New Jerusalem" When wickedness is broken as a tree
Jerusalem of fire "She shall be brought unto the King" Who is this that
cometh up not alone Who sits with the King in His Throne? Not a slave but a
bride Antipas "Beautiful for situation" Lord, by what inconceivable dim
road "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country"
Cast down but not destroyed, chastened not slain Lift up thine eyes to seek
the invisible "Love is strong as Death" ("As flames that consume the
mountains, as winds that coerce the sea") "Let them rejoice in their beds"
("Crimson as the rubies, crimson as the roses") Slain in their high places:
fallen on rest "What hath God wrought!" "Before the Throne, and before the
Lamb" "He shall go no more out" Yea, blessed and holy is he that hath part
in the First Resurrection The joy of Saints, like incense turned to fire
What are these lovely ones, yea, what are these? "The General Assembly and
Church of the Firstborn" "Every one that is perfect shall be as his master"
"As dying, and behold we live" "So great a cloud of Witnesses" Our Mothers,
lovely women pitiful Safe where I cannot lie yet "Is it well with the
child?" Dear Angels and dear disembodied Saints "To every seed his own
body" "What good shall my life do me?" ("Have dead men long to wait?")
SONGS FOR STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS
"Her Seed; It shall bruise thy head" "Judge nothing before the time" How
great is little man Man's life is but a working day If not with hope of
life "The day is at hand" "Endure hardness" "Whither the Tribes go up, even
the Tribes of the Lord" Where never tempest heaveth Marvel of marvels, if I
myself shall behold "What is that to thee? follow thou me" "Worship God"
"Afterward he repented, and went" "Are they not all Ministering Spirits?"
Our life is long. Not so, wise Angels say Lord, what have I to offer?
sickening far Joy is but sorrow Can I know it? - Nay "When my heart is
vexed I will complain" ("The fields are white to harvest, look and see")
"Praying always" "As thy days, so shall thy strength be" A heavy heart, if
ever heart was heavy If love is not worth loving, then life is not worth
living What is it Jesus saith unto the soul They lie at rest, our blessed
dead "Ye that fear Him, both small and great" "Called to be Saints" The
sinner's own fault? So it was Who cares for earthly bread tho' white?
Laughing Life cries at the feast "The end is not yet" Who would wish back
the Saints upon our rough "That which hath been is named already, and it is
known that it is Man" Of each sad word which is more sorrowful "I see that
all things come to an end" "But Thy Commandment is exceeding broad" Sursum
Corda O ye,who are not dead and fit Where shall I find a white rose blowing
"Redeeming the Time" "Now they desire a Better Country" A Castle-Builder's
World "These all wait upon Thee" "Doeth well...doeth better" Our heaven
must be within ourselves "Vanity of Vanities" ("Of all the downfalls in the
world") The hills are tipped with sunshine, while I walk Scarce tolerable
life, which all life long All heaven is blazing yet "Balm in Gilead" "In
the day of his Espousals" "She came from the uttermost part of the earth"
Alleluia! or Alas! my heart is crying The Passion Flower hath sprung up
tall God's Acre "The Flowers appear on the Earth" "Thou knewest...thou
oughtest therefore" "Go in Peace" "Half dead" "One of the Soldiers with a
Spear pierced His Side" Where love is, there comes sorrow Bury Hope out of
sight A Churchyard Song of Patient Hope One woe is past. Come what come
will "Take no thought for the morrow" "Consider the Lilies of the field"
("Solomon most gracious in array") "Son, remember" "Heaviness may endure
for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning" "The Will of the Lord be done"
"Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven" "Whom the Lord loveth He
chasteneth" "Then shall ye shout" Everything that is born must die Lord,
grant us calm, if calm can set forth Thee Changing Chimes "Thy Servant will
go and fight with this Philistine" Thro' burden and heat of the day "Then I
commended Mirth" Sorrow hath a double voice Shadows today, while shadows
show God's Will "Truly the Light is sweet" "Are ye not much better than
they?" "Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house" "I am small and of no
reputation" O Christ my God Who seest the unseen Yea, if Thou wilt, Thou
canst put up Thy sword Sweetness of rest when Thou sheddest rest O foolish
Soul! to make thy count Before the beginning Thou hast foreknown the end
The goal in sigh! Look up and sing Looking back along life's trodden way

baby fell asleep "Kookoorookoo! kookoorookoo!" Baby cry Eight o'clock Bread
and milk for breakfast There's snow on the fields Dead in the cold, a
song-singing thrush I dug and dug amongst the snow A city plum is not a
plum Your brother has a falcon Hear what the mournful linnets say A baby's
cradle with no baby in it Hop-o'-my-thumb and little Jack Horner Hope is
like a harebell trembling from its birth O wind, why do you never rest
Crying, my little one, footsore and weary Growing in the vale A linnet in a
gilded cage Wrens and robins in the hedge My baby has a mottled fist Why
did baby die If all were rain and never sun O wind, where have you been On
the grassy banks Rushes in a watery place Minnie and Mattie Heartease in my
garden bed If I were a Queen What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow There is
but one May in the year The summer nights are short The days are clear
Twist me a crown of wind-flowers Brown and furry A toadstoll comes up in a
night A pocket hankerchief to hem If a pig wore a wig Seldom "can't" 1 and
1 are 2 How many seconds in a minute What will you give me for my pound
January cold desolate What is pink? a rose is pink Mother shake the
cherry-tree A pin has a head, but has no hair Hopping frog, hop here and be
seen Where innocent bright-eyed daisies are The city mouse lives in a house
What does the donkey bray about Three plum buns A motherless soft lambkin
Dancing on the hill-tops When fishes set umbrellas up The peacock has a
score of eyes Pussy has a whiskered face The dog lies in his kennel If hope
grew on a bush I planted a hand Under the ivy bush There is one that has a
head without an eye If a mouse could fly Sing me a song The lily has an air
Margaret has a milking-pail In the meadow - what in the meadow A frisky
lamb Mix a pancake The wind has such a rainy sound Three little children
Fly away, fly away over the sea Minnie bakes oaten cakes A white hen
sitting Currants on a bush I have but one rose in the world Rosy maiden
Winifred When the cows come home the milk is coming Roses blushing red and
white "Ding a ding" A ring upon her finger "Ferry me across the water" When
a mounting skylark sings Who has seen the wind The horses of the sea O
sailor, come ashore A diamond or a coal An emerald is green as grass Boats
sail on the rivers The lily has a smooth stalk Hurt no living thing I
caught a little ladybird All the bells were ringing Wee wee husband I have
a little husband The dear old woman in the lane Swift and sure the swallow
"I dreamt I caught a little owl" What does the bee do I have a Poll parrot
A house of cards The rose with such a bonny blush The rose that blushes
rosy red Oh fair to see Clever little Willie wee The peach tree on the
southern wall A rose has thorns as well as honey Is the moon tired? she
looks so pale If stars dropped out of heaven "Goodbye in fear, goodbye in
sorrow" If the sun could tell us half If the moon came from heaven O Lady
Moon, your horns point toward the east What do the stars do Motherless baby
and babyless mother Crimson curtains round my mother's bed Baby lies so
fast asleep I know a baby, such a baby Lullaby, oh lullaby Lie a-bed Poems

"OUT OF THE DEEP HAVE I CALLED UNTO THEE, O LORD"
Alone Lord God, in Whom our trust and peace Seven vials hold Thy wrath: but
what can hold "Where neither rust nor moth doth corrupt" "As the sparks fly
upwards" Lord, make us all love all: that when we meet O Lord, I am ashamed
to seek Thy Face It is not death, O Christ, to die for Thee Lord, grant us
eyes to see and ears to hear "Cried out with Tears" O Lord, on Whom we gaze
and dare not gaze "I will come and heal him" Ah, Lord, Lord, if my heart
were right with Thine "The gold of that land is good" Weigh all my faults
and follies righteously Lord, grant me grace to love Thee in my pain Lord,
make me one with Thine own faithful ones "Light of Light"
CHRIST OUR ALL IN ALL
"The ransomed of the Lord" Lord, we are rivers running to Thy sea "An
exceeding bitter cry" O Lord, when Thou didst call me, didst Thou know
"Thou, God, seest me" Lord Jesus, who would think that I am Thine "The Name
of Jesus" Lord God of Hosts, most Holy and most High Lord, what have I that
I may offer Thee If I should say "my heart is in my home" Leaf from leaf
Christ knows Lord, carry me. - Nay, but I grant thee strength Lord, I am
here. - But, child, I look for thee New creatures; the Creator still the
Same "King of kings and lord of lords" Thy Name, O Christ, as incense
streaming forth "The Good Shepherd" "Rejoice with Me" Shall not the Judge
of all the earth do right Me and my gift: kind Lord, behold "He cannot deny
Himself" "Slain from the foundation of the world" Lord Jesu, Thou art
sweetness to my soul I, Lord, Thy foolish sinner low and small "Because He
first loved us" Lord, hast Thou so loved us, and will not we As the dove
which found no rest "Thou art Fairer than the children of men" "As the
Apple Tree among the trees of the wood" None other Lamb, none other Name
"Thy Friend and thy Father's Friend forget not" "Surely He has borne our
griefs" "They toil not, neither do they spin" Darkness and light are both
alike to Thee "And now why tarriest thou?" Have I not striven, my God, and
watched and prayed "God is our Hope and Strength" Day and night the Accuser
makes no pause O mine enemy Lord, dost Thou look on me, and will not I
"Peace I leave with you" O Christ our All in each, our All in all Because
Thy Love hath sought me Thy fainting spouse, yet still Thy spouse "Like as
the hart desireth the water brooks" "That where I am, there ye may be also"

GIFTS AND GRACES
Love loveth Thee, and wisdom loveth Thee Lord, give me love that I may love
Thee much "As a king,....unto the King" O ye who love today Life that was
born today "Perfect Love casteth out Fear" Hope is the counterpoise of fear
"Subject to like Passions as we are" Experience bows a sweet contented face
"Charity never Faileth" "The Greatest of these is Charity" All beneath the
sun hasteth If thou be dead, forgive and thou shalt live "Let Patience have
her perfect work" ("Can man rejoice who lives in hourly fear?") Patience
must dwell with Love, for Love and Sorrow "Let everything that hath breath
praise the Lord" What is the beginning? Love. What the course? Love still
Lord, make me pure Love, to be love, must walk Thy way Lord, I am feeble
and of mean account Tune me, O Lord, into one Harmony "They shall be as
white as snow" Thy lilies drink the dew "When I was in trouble I called
upon the Lord" Grant us such grace that we may work Thy Will "Who hath
despised the day of small things?" "Do this, and he doeth it" "That no man
take thy Crown" "Ye are come unto Mount Sion" "Sit down in the lowest room"
"Lord, it is good for us to be here" Lord, grant us grace to rest upon Thy
word
THE WORLD. SELF-DESTRUCTION
"A vain Shadow" "Lord, save us, we perish" What is this above thy head
Babylon the Great "Standing afar off for the fear of her torment" "O
Lucifer, Son of the Morning!" Alas, alas! for the self-destroyed As froth
on the face of the deep "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched" Toll, bell, toll. For hope is flying
DIVERS WORLDS. TIME AND ETERNTIY Earth has clear call of daily bells
"Escape to the Mountain" I lift mine eyes to see: earth vanisheth "Yet a
little while" ("Heaven is not far, though far the sky") "Behold, it was
very good" "Whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive" This near-at-hand
land breeds pain by measure "Was Thy Wrath against the Sea?" "And there was
no more Sea" Roses on a brier We are of those who tremble at Thy word
"Awake, thou that sleepest" We know not when, we know not where "I will
lift up mine eyes unto the Hills" ("When sick of life and all the world")
"Then whose shall those things be?" "His Banner over me was Love" Beloved,
yield thy time to God, for He Time seems not short The half moon shows a
face of plaintive sweetness "As the Doves to their windows" Oh knell of a
passing time Time passeth away with its pleasure and pain "The Earth shall
tremble at the Look of Him" Time lengthening, in the lengthening seemeth
long "All Flesh is Grass" Heaven's chimes are slow, but sure to strike at
last "There remaineth therefore a Rest to the People of God" Parting after
parting "They put their trust in Thee, and were not confounded" Short is
time, and only time is bleak For Each For All
NEW JERUSALEM AND ITS CITIZENS
"The Holy City, New Jerusalem" When wickedness is broken as a tree
Jerusalem of fire "She shall be brought unto the King" Who is this that
cometh up not alone Who sits with the King in His Throne? Not a slave but a
bride Antipas "Beautiful for situation" Lord, by what inconceivable dim
road "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country"
Cast down but not destroyed, chastened not slain Lift up thine eyes to seek
the invisible "Love is strong as Death" ("As flames that consume the
mountains, as winds that coerce the sea") "Let them rejoice in their beds"
("Crimson as the rubies, crimson as the roses") Slain in their high places:
fallen on rest "What hath God wrought!" "Before the Throne, and before the
Lamb" "He shall go no more out" Yea, blessed and holy is he that hath part
in the First Resurrection The joy of Saints, like incense turned to fire
What are these lovely ones, yea, what are these? "The General Assembly and
Church of the Firstborn" "Every one that is perfect shall be as his master"
"As dying, and behold we live" "So great a cloud of Witnesses" Our Mothers,
lovely women pitiful Safe where I cannot lie yet "Is it well with the
child?" Dear Angels and dear disembodied Saints "To every seed his own
body" "What good shall my life do me?" ("Have dead men long to wait?")
SONGS FOR STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS
"Her Seed; It shall bruise thy head" "Judge nothing before the time" How
great is little man Man's life is but a working day If not with hope of
life "The day is at hand" "Endure hardness" "Whither the Tribes go up, even
the Tribes of the Lord" Where never tempest heaveth Marvel of marvels, if I
myself shall behold "What is that to thee? follow thou me" "Worship God"
"Afterward he repented, and went" "Are they not all Ministering Spirits?"
Our life is long. Not so, wise Angels say Lord, what have I to offer?
sickening far Joy is but sorrow Can I know it? - Nay "When my heart is
vexed I will complain" ("The fields are white to harvest, look and see")
"Praying always" "As thy days, so shall thy strength be" A heavy heart, if
ever heart was heavy If love is not worth loving, then life is not worth
living What is it Jesus saith unto the soul They lie at rest, our blessed
dead "Ye that fear Him, both small and great" "Called to be Saints" The
sinner's own fault? So it was Who cares for earthly bread tho' white?
Laughing Life cries at the feast "The end is not yet" Who would wish back
the Saints upon our rough "That which hath been is named already, and it is
known that it is Man" Of each sad word which is more sorrowful "I see that
all things come to an end" "But Thy Commandment is exceeding broad" Sursum
Corda O ye,who are not dead and fit Where shall I find a white rose blowing
"Redeeming the Time" "Now they desire a Better Country" A Castle-Builder's
World "These all wait upon Thee" "Doeth well...doeth better" Our heaven
must be within ourselves "Vanity of Vanities" ("Of all the downfalls in the
world") The hills are tipped with sunshine, while I walk Scarce tolerable
life, which all life long All heaven is blazing yet "Balm in Gilead" "In
the day of his Espousals" "She came from the uttermost part of the earth"
Alleluia! or Alas! my heart is crying The Passion Flower hath sprung up
tall God's Acre "The Flowers appear on the Earth" "Thou knewest...thou
oughtest therefore" "Go in Peace" "Half dead" "One of the Soldiers with a
Spear pierced His Side" Where love is, there comes sorrow Bury Hope out of
sight A Churchyard Song of Patient Hope One woe is past. Come what come
will "Take no thought for the morrow" "Consider the Lilies of the field"
("Solomon most gracious in array") "Son, remember" "Heaviness may endure
for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning" "The Will of the Lord be done"
"Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven" "Whom the Lord loveth He
chasteneth" "Then shall ye shout" Everything that is born must die Lord,
grant us calm, if calm can set forth Thee Changing Chimes "Thy Servant will
go and fight with this Philistine" Thro' burden and heat of the day "Then I
commended Mirth" Sorrow hath a double voice Shadows today, while shadows
show God's Will "Truly the Light is sweet" "Are ye not much better than
they?" "Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house" "I am small and of no
reputation" O Christ my God Who seest the unseen Yea, if Thou wilt, Thou
canst put up Thy sword Sweetness of rest when Thou sheddest rest O foolish
Soul! to make thy count Before the beginning Thou hast foreknown the end
The goal in sigh! Look up and sing Looking back along life's trodden way

plum Your brother has a falcon Hear what the mournful linnets say A baby's
cradle with no baby in it Hop-o'-my-thumb and little Jack Horner Hope is
like a harebell trembling from its birth O wind, why do you never rest
Crying, my little one, footsore and weary Growing in the vale A linnet in a
gilded cage Wrens and robins in the hedge My baby has a mottled fist Why
did baby die If all were rain and never sun O wind, where have you been On
the grassy banks Rushes in a watery place Minnie and Mattie Heartease in my
garden bed If I were a Queen What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow There is
but one May in the year The summer nights are short The days are clear
Twist me a crown of wind-flowers Brown and furry A toadstoll comes up in a
night A pocket hankerchief to hem If a pig wore a wig Seldom "can't" 1 and
1 are 2 How many seconds in a minute What will you give me for my pound
January cold desolate What is pink? a rose is pink Mother shake the
cherry-tree A pin has a head, but has no hair Hopping frog, hop here and be
seen Where innocent bright-eyed daisies are The city mouse lives in a house
What does the donkey bray about Three plum buns A motherless soft lambkin
Dancing on the hill-tops When fishes set umbrellas up The peacock has a
score of eyes Pussy has a whiskered face The dog lies in his kennel If hope
grew on a bush I planted a hand Under the ivy bush There is one that has a
head without an eye If a mouse could fly Sing me a song The lily has an air
Margaret has a milking-pail In the meadow - what in the meadow A frisky
lamb Mix a pancake The wind has such a rainy sound Three little children
Fly away, fly away over the sea Minnie bakes oaten cakes A white hen
sitting Currants on a bush I have but one rose in the world Rosy maiden
Winifred When the cows come home the milk is coming Roses blushing red and
white "Ding a ding" A ring upon her finger "Ferry me across the water" When
a mounting skylark sings Who has seen the wind The horses of the sea O
sailor, come ashore A diamond or a coal An emerald is green as grass Boats
sail on the rivers The lily has a smooth stalk Hurt no living thing I
caught a little ladybird All the bells were ringing Wee wee husband I have
a little husband The dear old woman in the lane Swift and sure the swallow
"I dreamt I caught a little owl" What does the bee do I have a Poll parrot
A house of cards The rose with such a bonny blush The rose that blushes
rosy red Oh fair to see Clever little Willie wee The peach tree on the
southern wall A rose has thorns as well as honey Is the moon tired? she
looks so pale If stars dropped out of heaven "Goodbye in fear, goodbye in
sorrow" If the sun could tell us half If the moon came from heaven O Lady
Moon, your horns point toward the east What do the stars do Motherless baby
and babyless mother Crimson curtains round my mother's bed Baby lies so
fast asleep I know a baby, such a baby Lullaby, oh lullaby Lie a-bed Poems

"OUT OF THE DEEP HAVE I CALLED UNTO THEE, O LORD"
Alone Lord God, in Whom our trust and peace Seven vials hold Thy wrath: but
what can hold "Where neither rust nor moth doth corrupt" "As the sparks fly
upwards" Lord, make us all love all: that when we meet O Lord, I am ashamed
to seek Thy Face It is not death, O Christ, to die for Thee Lord, grant us
eyes to see and ears to hear "Cried out with Tears" O Lord, on Whom we gaze
and dare not gaze "I will come and heal him" Ah, Lord, Lord, if my heart
were right with Thine "The gold of that land is good" Weigh all my faults
and follies righteously Lord, grant me grace to love Thee in my pain Lord,
make me one with Thine own faithful ones "Light of Light"
CHRIST OUR ALL IN ALL
"The ransomed of the Lord" Lord, we are rivers running to Thy sea "An
exceeding bitter cry" O Lord, when Thou didst call me, didst Thou know
"Thou, God, seest me" Lord Jesus, who would think that I am Thine "The Name
of Jesus" Lord God of Hosts, most Holy and most High Lord, what have I that
I may offer Thee If I should say "my heart is in my home" Leaf from leaf
Christ knows Lord, carry me. - Nay, but I grant thee strength Lord, I am
here. - But, child, I look for thee New creatures; the Creator still the
Same "King of kings and lord of lords" Thy Name, O Christ, as incense
streaming forth "The Good Shepherd" "Rejoice with Me" Shall not the Judge
of all the earth do right Me and my gift: kind Lord, behold "He cannot deny
Himself" "Slain from the foundation of the world" Lord Jesu, Thou art
sweetness to my soul I, Lord, Thy foolish sinner low and small "Because He
first loved us" Lord, hast Thou so loved us, and will not we As the dove
which found no rest "Thou art Fairer than the children of men" "As the
Apple Tree among the trees of the wood" None other Lamb, none other Name
"Thy Friend and thy Father's Friend forget not" "Surely He has borne our
griefs" "They toil not, neither do they spin" Darkness and light are both

watched and prayed "God is our Hope and Strength" Day and night the Accuser
makes no pause O mine enemy Lord, dost Thou look on me, and will not I

Thy Love hath sought me Thy fainting spouse, yet still Thy spouse "Like as
the hart desireth the water brooks" "That where I am, there ye may be also"

not we A chill blank world. Yet over the utmost sea "The Chiefest among ten

GIFTS AND GRACES
Love loveth Thee, and wisdom loveth Thee Lord, give me love that I may love
Thee much "As a king,....unto the King" O ye who love today Life that was
born today "Perfect Love casteth out Fear" Hope is the counterpoise of fear
"Subject to like Passions as we are" Experience bows a sweet contented face
"Charity never Faileth" "The Greatest of these is Charity" All beneath the
sun hasteth If thou be dead, forgive and thou shalt live "Let Patience have
her perfect work" ("Can man rejoice who lives in hourly fear?") Patience
must dwell with Love, for Love and Sorrow "Let everything that hath breath
praise the Lord" What is the beginning? Love. What the course? Love still
Lord, make me pure Love, to be love, must walk Thy way Lord, I am feeble
and of mean account Tune me, O Lord, into one Harmony "They shall be as
white as snow" Thy lilies drink the dew "When I was in trouble I called
upon the Lord" Grant us such grace that we may work Thy Will "Who hath
despised the day of small things?" "Do this, and he doeth it" "That no man
take thy Crown" "Ye are come unto Mount Sion" "Sit down in the lowest room"
"Lord, it is good for us to be here" Lord, grant us grace to rest upon Thy
word
THE WORLD. SELF-DESTRUCTION
"A vain Shadow" "Lord, save us, we perish" What is this above thy head
Babylon the Great "Standing afar off for the fear of her torment" "O
Lucifer, Son of the Morning!" Alas, alas! for the self-destroyed As froth
on the face of the deep "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched" Toll, bell, toll. For hope is flying
DIVERS WORLDS. TIME AND ETERNTIY Earth has clear call of daily bells
"Escape to the Mountain" I lift mine eyes to see: earth vanisheth "Yet a
little while" ("Heaven is not far, though far the sky") "Behold, it was
very good" "Whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive" This near-at-hand
land breeds pain by measure "Was Thy Wrath against the Sea?" "And there was
no more Sea" Roses on a brier We are of those who tremble at Thy word
"Awake, thou that sleepest" We know not when, we know not where "I will
lift up mine eyes unto the Hills" ("When sick of life and all the world")
"Then whose shall those things be?" "His Banner over me was Love" Beloved,
yield thy time to God, for He Time seems not short The half moon shows a
face of plaintive sweetness "As the Doves to their windows" Oh knell of a
passing time Time passeth away with its pleasure and pain "The Earth shall
tremble at the Look of Him" Time lengthening, in the lengthening seemeth
long "All Flesh is Grass" Heaven's chimes are slow, but sure to strike at
last "There remaineth therefore a Rest to the People of God" Parting after
parting "They put their trust in Thee, and were not confounded" Short is
time, and only time is bleak For Each For All
NEW JERUSALEM AND ITS CITIZENS
"The Holy City, New Jerusalem" When wickedness is broken as a tree
Jerusalem of fire "She shall be brought unto the King" Who is this that
cometh up not alone Who sits with the King in His Throne? Not a slave but a
bride Antipas "Beautiful for situation" Lord, by what inconceivable dim
road "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country"
Cast down but not destroyed, chastened not slain Lift up thine eyes to seek
the invisible "Love is strong as Death" ("As flames that consume the
mountains, as winds that coerce the sea") "Let them rejoice in their beds"
("Crimson as the rubies, crimson as the roses") Slain in their high places:
fallen on rest "What hath God wrought!" "Before the Throne, and before the
Lamb" "He shall go no more out" Yea, blessed and holy is he that hath part
in the First Resurrection The joy of Saints, like incense turned to fire
What are these lovely ones, yea, what are these? "The General Assembly and
Church of the Firstborn" "Every one that is perfect shall be as his master"
"As dying, and behold we live" "So great a cloud of Witnesses" Our Mothers,
lovely women pitiful Safe where I cannot lie yet "Is it well with the
child?" Dear Angels and dear disembodied Saints "To every seed his own
body" "What good shall my life do me?" ("Have dead men long to wait?")
SONGS FOR STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS
"Her Seed; It shall bruise thy head" "Judge nothing before the time" How
great is little man Man's life is but a working day If not with hope of
life "The day is at hand" "Endure hardness" "Whither the Tribes go up, even
the Tribes of the Lord" Where never tempest heaveth Marvel of marvels, if I
myself shall behold "What is that to thee? follow thou me" "Worship God"
"Afterward he repented, and went" "Are they not all Ministering Spirits?"
Our life is long. Not so, wise Angels say Lord, what have I to offer?
sickening far Joy is but sorrow Can I know it? - Nay "When my heart is
vexed I will complain" ("The fields are white to harvest, look and see")
"Praying always" "As thy days, so shall thy strength be" A heavy heart, if
ever heart was heavy If love is not worth loving, then life is not worth
living What is it Jesus saith unto the soul They lie at rest, our blessed
dead "Ye that fear Him, both small and great" "Called to be Saints" The
sinner's own fault? So it was Who cares for earthly bread tho' white?
Laughing Life cries at the feast "The end is not yet" Who would wish back
the Saints upon our rough "That which hath been is named already, and it is
known that it is Man" Of each sad word which is more sorrowful "I see that
all things come to an end" "But Thy Commandment is exceeding broad" Sursum
Corda O ye,who are not dead and fit Where shall I find a white rose blowing
"Redeeming the Time" "Now they desire a Better Country" A Castle-Builder's
World "These all wait upon Thee" "Doeth well...doeth better" Our heaven
must be within ourselves "Vanity of Vanities" ("Of all the downfalls in the
world") The hills are tipped with sunshine, while I walk Scarce tolerable
life, which all life long All heaven is blazing yet "Balm in Gilead" "In
the day of his Espousals" "She came from the uttermost part of the earth"
Alleluia! or Alas! my heart is crying The Passion Flower hath sprung up
tall God's Acre "The Flowers appear on the Earth" "Thou knewest...thou
oughtest therefore" "Go in Peace" "Half dead" "One of the Soldiers with a
Spear pierced His Side" Where love is, there comes sorrow Bury Hope out of
sight A Churchyard Song of Patient Hope One woe is past. Come what come
will "Take no thought for the morrow" "Consider the Lilies of the field"
("Solomon most gracious in array") "Son, remember" "Heaviness may endure
for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning" "The Will of the Lord be done"
"Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven" "Whom the Lord loveth He
chasteneth" "Then shall ye shout" Everything that is born must die Lord,
grant us calm, if calm can set forth Thee Changing Chimes "Thy Servant will
go and fight with this Philistine" Thro' burden and heat of the day "Then I
commended Mirth" Sorrow hath a double voice Shadows today, while shadows
show God's Will "Truly the Light is sweet" "Are ye not much better than
they?" "Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house" "I am small and of no
reputation" O Christ my God Who seest the unseen Yea, if Thou wilt, Thou
canst put up Thy sword Sweetness of rest when Thou sheddest rest O foolish
Soul! to make thy count Before the beginning Thou hast foreknown the end
The goal in sigh! Look up and sing Looking back along life's trodden way

baby fell asleep "Kookoorookoo! kookoorookoo!" Baby cry Eight o'clock Bread
and milk for breakfast There's snow on the fields Dead in the cold, a
song-singing thrush I dug and dug amongst the snow A city plum is not a
plum Your brother has a falcon Hear what the mournful linnets say A baby's
cradle with no baby in it Hop-o'-my-thumb and little Jack Horner Hope is
like a harebell trembling from its birth O wind, why do you never rest
Crying, my little one, footsore and weary Growing in the vale A linnet in a
gilded cage Wrens and robins in the hedge My baby has a mottled fist Why
did baby die If all were rain and never sun O wind, where have you been On
the grassy banks Rushes in a watery place Minnie and Mattie Heartease in my
garden bed If I were a Queen What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow There is
but one May in the year The summer nights are short The days are clear
Twist me a crown of wind-flowers Brown and furry A toadstoll comes up in a
night A pocket hankerchief to hem If a pig wore a wig Seldom "can't" 1 and

January cold desolate What is pink? a rose is pink Mother shake the
cherry-tree A pin has a head, but has no hair Hopping frog, hop here and be
seen Where innocent bright-eyed daisies are The city mouse lives in a house
What does the donkey bray about Three plum buns A motherless soft lambkin
Dancing on the hill-tops When fishes set umbrellas up The peacock has a
score of eyes Pussy has a whiskered face The dog lies in his kennel If hope
grew on a bush I planted a hand Under the ivy bush There is one that has a
head without an eye If a mouse could fly Sing me a song The lily has an air
Margaret has a milking-pail In the meadow - what in the meadow A frisky
lamb Mix a pancake The wind has such a rainy sound Three little children
Fly away, fly away over the sea Minnie bakes oaten cakes A white hen
sitting Currants on a bush I have but one rose in the world Rosy maiden
Winifred When the cows come home the milk is coming Roses blushing red and
white "Ding a ding" A ring upon her finger "Ferry me across the water" When
a mounting skylark sings Who has seen the wind The horses of the sea O
sailor, come ashore A diamond or a coal An emerald is green as grass Boats
sail on the rivers The lily has a smooth stalk Hurt no living thing I
caught a little ladybird All the bells were ringing Wee wee husband I have
a little husband The dear old woman in the lane Swift and sure the swallow
"I dreamt I caught a little owl" What does the bee do I have a Poll parrot
A house of cards The rose with such a bonny blush The rose that blushes
rosy red Oh fair to see Clever little Willie wee The peach tree on the
southern wall A rose has thorns as well as honey Is the moon tired? she
looks so pale If stars dropped out of heaven "Goodbye in fear, goodbye in
sorrow" If the sun could tell us half If the moon came from heaven O Lady
Moon, your horns point toward the east What do the stars do Motherless baby
and babyless mother Crimson curtains round my mother's bed Baby lies so
fast asleep I know a baby, such a baby Lullaby, oh lullaby Lie a-bed Poems

"OUT OF THE DEEP HAVE I CALLED UNTO THEE, O LORD"
Alone Lord God, in Whom our trust and peace Seven vials hold Thy wrath: but
what can hold "Where neither rust nor moth doth corrupt" "As the sparks fly
upwards" Lord, make us all love all: that when we meet O Lord, I am ashamed
to seek Thy Face It is not death, O Christ, to die for Thee Lord, grant us
eyes to see and ears to hear "Cried out with Tears" O Lord, on Whom we gaze
and dare not gaze "I will come and heal him" Ah, Lord, Lord, if my heart
were right with Thine "The gold of that land is good" Weigh all my faults
and follies righteously Lord, grant me grace to love Thee in my pain Lord,
make me one with Thine own faithful ones "Light of Light"
CHRIST OUR ALL IN ALL
"The ransomed of the Lord" Lord, we are rivers running to Thy sea "An
exceeding bitter cry" O Lord, when Thou didst call me, didst Thou know
"Thou, God, seest me" Lord Jesus, who would think that I am Thine "The Name
of Jesus" Lord God of Hosts, most Holy and most High Lord, what have I that
I may offer Thee If I should say "my heart is in my home" Leaf from leaf
Christ knows Lord, carry me. - Nay, but I grant thee strength Lord, I am
here. - But, child, I look for thee New creatures; the Creator still the
Same "King of kings and lord of lords" Thy Name, O Christ, as incense
streaming forth "The Good Shepherd" "Rejoice with Me" Shall not the Judge
of all the earth do right Me and my gift: kind Lord, behold "He cannot deny
Himself" "Slain from the foundation of the world" Lord Jesu, Thou art
sweetness to my soul I, Lord, Thy foolish sinner low and small "Because He
first loved us" Lord, hast Thou so loved us, and will not we As the dove
which found no rest "Thou art Fairer than the children of men" "As the
Apple Tree among the trees of the wood" None other Lamb, none other Name
"Thy Friend and thy Father's Friend forget not" "Surely He has borne our
griefs" "They toil not, neither do they spin" Darkness and light are both
alike to Thee "And now why tarriest thou?" Have I not striven, my God, and
watched and prayed "God is our Hope and Strength" Day and night the Accuser
makes no pause O mine enemy Lord, dost Thou look on me, and will not I
"Peace I leave with you" O Christ our All in each, our All in all Because
Thy Love hath sought me Thy fainting spouse, yet still Thy spouse "Like as
the hart desireth the water brooks" "That where I am, there ye may be also"
"Judge not according to the appearance" My God, wilt Thou accept, and will
not we A chill blank world. Yet over the utmost sea "The Chiefest among ten
thousand" ("O Jesu, better than thy gifts")

GIFTS AND GRACES
Love loveth Thee, and wisdom loveth Thee Lord, give me love that I may love
Thee much "As a king,....unto the King" O ye who love today Life that was
born today "Perfect Love casteth out Fear" Hope is the counterpoise of fear
"Subject to like Passions as we are" Experience bows a sweet contented face
"Charity never Faileth" "The Greatest of these is Charity" All beneath the
sun hasteth If thou be dead, forgive and thou shalt live "Let Patience have
her perfect work" ("Can man rejoice who lives in hourly fear?") Patience
must dwell with Love, for Love and Sorrow "Let everything that hath breath
praise the Lord" What is the beginning? Love. What the course? Love still
Lord, make me pure Love, to be love, must walk Thy way Lord, I am feeble
and of mean account Tune me, O Lord, into one Harmony "They shall be as
white as snow" Thy lilies drink the dew "When I was in trouble I called
upon the Lord" Grant us such grace that we may work Thy Will "Who hath
despised the day of small things?" "Do this, and he doeth it" "That no man
take thy Crown" "Ye are come unto Mount Sion" "Sit down in the lowest room"
"Lord, it is good for us to be here" Lord, grant us grace to rest upon Thy
word
THE WORLD. SELF-DESTRUCTION
"A vain Shadow" "Lord, save us, we perish" What is this above thy head
Babylon the Great "Standing afar off for the fear of her torment" "O
Lucifer, Son of the Morning!" Alas, alas! for the self-destroyed As froth
on the face of the deep "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched" Toll, bell, toll. For hope is flying
DIVERS WORLDS. TIME AND ETERNTIY Earth has clear call of daily bells
"Escape to the Mountain" I lift mine eyes to see: earth vanisheth "Yet a
little while" ("Heaven is not far, though far the sky") "Behold, it was
very good" "Whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive" This near-at-hand
land breeds pain by measure "Was Thy Wrath against the Sea?" "And there was
no more Sea" Roses on a brier We are of those who tremble at Thy word
"Awake, thou that sleepest" We know not when, we know not where "I will
lift up mine eyes unto the Hills" ("When sick of life and all the world")
"Then whose shall those things be?" "His Banner over me was Love" Beloved,
yield thy time to God, for He Time seems not short The half moon shows a
face of plaintive sweetness "As the Doves to their windows" Oh knell of a
passing time Time passeth away with its pleasure and pain "The Earth shall
tremble at the Look of Him" Time lengthening, in the lengthening seemeth
long "All Flesh is Grass" Heaven's chimes are slow, but sure to strike at
last "There remaineth therefore a Rest to the People of God" Parting after
parting "They put their trust in Thee, and were not confounded" Short is
time, and only time is bleak For Each For All
NEW JERUSALEM AND ITS CITIZENS
"The Holy City, New Jerusalem" When wickedness is broken as a tree
Jerusalem of fire "She shall be brought unto the King" Who is this that
cometh up not alone Who sits with the King in His Throne? Not a slave but a
bride Antipas "Beautiful for situation" Lord, by what inconceivable dim
road "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country"
Cast down but not destroyed, chastened not slain Lift up thine eyes to seek
the invisible "Love is strong as Death" ("As flames that consume the
mountains, as winds that coerce the sea") "Let them rejoice in their beds"
("Crimson as the rubies, crimson as the roses") Slain in their high places:
fallen on rest "What hath God wrought!" "Before the Throne, and before the
Lamb" "He shall go no more out" Yea, blessed and holy is he that hath part
in the First Resurrection The joy of Saints, like incense turned to fire
What are these lovely ones, yea, what are these? "The General Assembly and
Church of the Firstborn" "Every one that is perfect shall be as his master"
"As dying, and behold we live" "So great a cloud of Witnesses" Our Mothers,
lovely women pitiful Safe where I cannot lie yet "Is it well with the
child?" Dear Angels and dear disembodied Saints "To every seed his own
body" "What good shall my life do me?" ("Have dead men long to wait?")
SONGS FOR STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS
"Her Seed; It shall bruise thy head" "Judge nothing before the time" How
great is little man Man's life is but a working day If not with hope of
life "The day is at hand" "Endure hardness" "Whither the Tribes go up, even
the Tribes of the Lord" Where never tempest heaveth Marvel of marvels, if I
myself shall behold "What is that to thee? follow thou me" "Worship God"
"Afterward he repented, and went" "Are they not all Ministering Spirits?"
Our life is long. Not so, wise Angels say Lord, what have I to offer?
sickening far Joy is but sorrow Can I know it? - Nay "When my heart is
vexed I will complain" ("The fields are white to harvest, look and see")
"Praying always" "As thy days, so shall thy strength be" A heavy heart, if
ever heart was heavy If love is not worth loving, then life is not worth
living What is it Jesus saith unto the soul They lie at rest, our blessed
dead "Ye that fear Him, both small and great" "Called to be Saints" The
sinner's own fault? So it was Who cares for earthly bread tho' white?
Laughing Life cries at the feast "The end is not yet" Who would wish back
the Saints upon our rough "That which hath been is named already, and it is
known that it is Man" Of each sad word which is more sorrowful "I see that
all things come to an end" "But Thy Commandment is exceeding broad" Sursum
Corda O ye,who are not dead and fit Where shall I find a white rose blowing
"Redeeming the Time" "Now they desire a Better Country" A Castle-Builder's
World "These all wait upon Thee" "Doeth well...doeth better" Our heaven
must be within ourselves "Vanity of Vanities" ("Of all the downfalls in the
world") The hills are tipped with sunshine, while I walk Scarce tolerable
life, which all life long All heaven is blazing yet "Balm in Gilead" "In
the day of his Espousals" "She came from the uttermost part of the earth"
Alleluia! or Alas! my heart is crying The Passion Flower hath sprung up
tall God's Acre "The Flowers appear on the Earth" "Thou knewest...thou
oughtest therefore" "Go in Peace" "Half dead" "One of the Soldiers with a
Spear pierced His Side" Where love is, there comes sorrow Bury Hope out of
sight A Churchyard Song of Patient Hope One woe is past. Come what come
will "Take no thought for the morrow" "Consider the Lilies of the field"
("Solomon most gracious in array") "Son, remember" "Heaviness may endure
for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning" "The Will of the Lord be done"
"Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven" "Whom the Lord loveth He
chasteneth" "Then shall ye shout" Everything that is born must die Lord,
grant us calm, if calm can set forth Thee Changing Chimes "Thy Servant will
go and fight with this Philistine" Thro' burden and heat of the day "Then I
commended Mirth" Sorrow hath a double voice Shadows today, while shadows
show God's Will "Truly the Light is sweet" "Are ye not much better than
they?" "Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house" "I am small and of no
reputation" O Christ my God Who seest the unseen Yea, if Thou wilt, Thou
canst put up Thy sword Sweetness of rest when Thou sheddest rest O foolish
Soul! to make thy count Before the beginning Thou hast foreknown the end
The goal in sigh! Look up and sing Looking back along life's trodden way
