“Beyond the smiling and the weeping”

Beyond the smiling and the weeping         I shall be soon; Beyond the waking and the sleeping, Beyond the sowing and the reaping,         I shall be soon.     Love, rest, and home!     Sweet hope!     Lord, tarry not, but come. Beyond the blooming and the fading         I shall be soon; Beyond the shining and the shading, Beyond the hoping and the dreading,         I shall be soon.     Love, rest, and home! etc. Beyond the rising and the setting         I shall be soon; Beyond the calming and the fretting, Beyond remembering and forgetting,         I shall be soon.     Love, rest, and home! etc. Beyond the gathering and the strowing         I shall be soon; Beyond the ebbing and the flowing, Beyond the coming and the going,         I shall be soon.     Love, rest, and home! etc. Beyond the parting and the meeting         I shall be soon; Beyond the farewell and the greeting, Beyond this pulse’s fever beating,         I shall be soon.     Love, rest, and home! etc. Beyond the frost chain and the fever         I shall be soon; Beyond the rock waste and the river, Beyond the ever and the never,         I shall be soon.     Love, rest, and home!     Sweet hope!     Lord, tarry not, but come.
