Rest


There is a rest for all things. On still nights There is a folding of a million wings, The swarming honey-bees in unknown woods, The speckled butterflies and downy broods In dizzy poplar heights: Rest for innumerable nameless things; Rest for the creatures underneath the sea, And in the earth, and in the starry air. T. B. Aldrich.—Invocation to Sleep.	1
Of all our loving Father’s gifts I often wonder which is best, And cry: Dear God, the one that lifts Our soul from weariness to rest, The rest of silence—that is best. Mary Clemmer.—Silence.	2
Rest is not quitting the busy career; Rest is the fitting of self to its sphere. John Sullivan Dwight.—True Rest.	3
The far Hesperides, The islands of the blest, Where no turbulent billows roar, Where is rest. Stedman.—The Old Admiral, Stanza 6.	4
