My Unfading Rose, <br />Heal my heart <br />To love the least deserving, <br />To feed a wailing child, <br />Clothe the naked, <br />Shelter from the storms; <br />No easy task, <br />It seems suffering abounding <br />More than eternal life. <br /> <br />O my Unfading Rose <br />Let me drink from your fountain, <br />As the sun rises on Sunday mornings; <br />Worshiping you alone, <br />A type of Him, <br />Bleeding from the side.<br /><br />Buxton Shippy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-unfading-rose/
