Weary In Well-Doing

Title:     Weary In Well-Doing
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

I would have gone; God bade me stay:
I would have worked; God bade me rest.
He broke my will from day to day,
He read my yearnings unexpressed,
And said them nay.

Now I would stay; God bids me go:
Now I would rest; God bids me work.
He breaks my heart tossed to and fro,
My soul is wrung with doubts that lurk
And vex it so.

I go, Lord, where Thou sendest me;
Day after day I plod and moil:
But, Christ my God, when will it be
That I may let alone my toil
And rest with Thee?

[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: Weary In Well-Doing
