Oh Thou of Little Faith + 

Sad-hearted, be at peace: the snowdrop lies + 

Buried in sepulchre of ghastly snow; + 

But spring is floating up the southern skies, + 

And darkling the pale snowdrop waits below. + 

Let me persuade: in dull December’s day + 

We scarce believe there is a month of June; + 

But up the stairs of April and of May + 

The hot sun climbeth to the summer’s noon. + 

Yet hear me: I love God, and half I rest. + 

O better! God loves thee, so all rest thou. + 

He is our summer, our dim-visioned Best;⁠— + 

And in his heart thy prayer is resting now. + 
