BY CRISTOBAL DE GASTILLOJO

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Some day, some day

O troubled breast,

Shalt thou find rest.

 

If Love in thee

To grief give birth,

Six feet of earth

Can more than he;

There calm and free

And unoppressed

Shalt thou find rest.

 

The unattained

In life at last,

When life is passed,

Shall all be gained;

And no more pained,

No more distressed,

Shalt thou find rest.
