Volume VI. Fancy. 1904. | | | | Poems of Sentiment: VI. Labor and Rest | | Song: “He that is down need fear no fall” | | John Bunyan (1628–1688) |
| | | HE that is down need fear no fall; | |
| He that is low, no pride; | |
| He that is humble ever shall | |
| Have God to be his guide. | |
| |
| I am content with what I have, | 5 |
| Little be it or much; | |
| And, Lord, contentment still I crave, | |
| Because thou savest such. | |
| |
| Fulness to such a burden is | |
| That go on pilgrimage; | 10 |
| Here little, and hereafter bliss, | |
| Is best from age to age. | | | | |
