Victory comes late,

And is held low to freezing lips

Too rapt with frost

To take it.

How sweet it would have tasted,

Just a drop!

Was God so economical?

His table 's spread too high for us

Unless we dine on tip-toe.

Crumbs fit such little mouths,

Cherries suit robins;

The eagle's golden breakfast

Strangles them.

God keeps his oath to sparrows,

Who of little love

Know how to starve!

• Part Four: Time and Eternity 117. So proud she was to die
• Part Four: Time and Eternity 118. Tie the strings to my life, my Lord
• Part Four: Time and Eternity 119. The dying need but little, dear
• Part Four: Time and Eternity 120. There's something quieter than sleep
• Part Four: Time and Eternity 121. The soul should always stand ajar
• Part Four: Time and Eternity 122. Three weeks passed since I had seen her
• Part Four: Time and Eternity 123. I breathed enough to learn the trick
• Part Four: Time and Eternity 124. I wonder if the sepulchre
• Part Four: Time and Eternity 125. If tolling bell I ask the cause
• Part Four: Time and Eternity 126. If I may have it when it's dead
• Part Four: Time and Eternity 127. Before the ice is in the pools
