Alfred Noyes - CompensationsAlfred Noyes - Compensations
Work rating: Low


Not with a flash that rends the blue   Shall fall the avenging sword. Gently as the evening dew   Descends the mighty Lord. His dreadful balances are made   To move with moon and tide; Yet shall not mercy be afraid   Nor justice be denied. The dreams that seemed to waste away,   The kindliness forgot, Were singing in your heart today   Although you knew them not. The sun shall not forget his road,   Nor the high stars their rhyme, The traveller with the heavier load   Has one less hill to climb. And, though a darker shadow fall   On every struggling age, How shall it be if, after all,   He share our pilgrimage? The end we mourn is not the end.   The dust has nimble wings. But truth and beauty have a friend   At the deep heart of things. He will not speak? What friend belies   His love with idle breath? We read it in each others` eyes,   And ask no more in death.
