Religion

Where never tempest heaveth

by Christina Rossetti 1830–1894

From Verses (1893)

Religion

Where never tempest heaveth,
Nor sorrow grieveth,
Nor death bereaveth,
Nor hope deceiveth,
Sleep.

Where never shame bewaileth,
Nor serpent traileth,
Nor death prevaileth,
Nor harvest faileth,
Reap.
