The Week After <br />Thou that diest, Thou that never diest, <br />Thy day of birth has come ande Highest! <br />And Earth has sung Peace and Goodwill to men! <br /> <br />And some have feasted, and still more have fasted, <br />But in the week that now has slipped behind <br />The movement was a warm one while it lasted, <br />And the hearts of men were willing to be kind. <br /> <br />Oh, keep that movement warm, not only now <br />But in the weeks that still beyond us lie! <br />Oh, keep that movement constant in us, Thou <br />That ever diest, and wilt never die.<br /><br />Eleanor Farjeon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-week-after/
