Katharine Tynan - The Refreshment
Work rating: Low

If I could have foreseen this hour,
     What terror and anguish I had seen!
And not this time of joy at flower,
     Cool waters and a garden green.

All day the battle in the East
     Thunders. Dear Angels, keep him well!
His mother sits as to a feast.
     O heart of steel invulnerable!

All night I sleep the young child`s sleep
     And waken to the robin`s song,
Blithe as the bird. Dear Angels, keep
     My darling the sharp spears among.

Ah now, I know whose Arms enfold,
     I rest on such a mighty Heart;
He hides my eyes lest they behold,
     In a most heavenly place apart.

Lord, if this ease be but a lull
     Ere the deep seas are over my head,
I shall have had, O Beautiful!
     This hour joy-filled and comforted.
