The Sweetest Song Was Ever Sung

Title:     The Sweetest Song Was Ever Sung
Author: George William Russell [More Titles by Russell]

May soothe you but a little while:
The gayest music ever rung
Shall yield you but a fleeting smile.

The well I digged you soon shall pass.
You may but rest with me an hour:
Yet drink, I offer you the glass,
A moment of sustaining power,

And give to you, if it be gain,
Whether in pleasure or annoy,
To see one elemental pain,
One light of everlasting joy.

[The end]
George William Russell's poem: Sweetest Song Was Ever Sung
