Religion

At Last

by Gerald Massey 1828–1907

From My Lyrical Life, First Series (1889)

Religion

A few more Meetings on the Deep,
And partings on the shore;

And then in Heaven at last we keep
Our tryst for evermore.

A little further we must bear
The load, and do our best;

Then take immortal solace where
The wretched are at rest.

Our Pilgrimage will soon be past,
Our worst afflictions borne;

Some weary night, 'twill be the last,
And then Eternal Morn.
