Religion

They put their trust in Thee, and were not confounded. (I)

by Christina Rossetti 1830–1894

From Verses (1893)

Religion

Together once, but never more
While Time and Death run out their runs:
Tho’ sundered now as shore from shore,
Together once.

Nor rising suns, nor setting suns,
Nor life renewed which springtide bore,
Make one again Death’s sundered ones.

Eternity holds rest in store,
Holds hope of long reunions:
But holds it what they hungered for
Together once?
