Henry Van Dyke - Bitter-Sweet
Work rating: Low

Just to give up, and trust
    All to a Fate unknown,
  Plodding along life`s road in the dust,
    Bounded by walls of stone;
Never to have a heart at peace;
Never to see when care will cease;
Just to be still when sorrows fall—
This is the bitterest lesson of all.
  Just to give up, and rest
    All on a Love secure,
  Out of a world that`s hard at the best,
    Looking to heaven as sure;
Ever to hope, through cloud and fear,
In darkest night, that the dawn is near;
Just to wait at the Master`s feet—
Surely, now, the bitter is sweet.
