Annie Adams Fields (1834–1915)

“A Thousand Years in Thy Sight Are but as One Day”

NEITHER joy nor sorrow move

The figure at the feet of Love;

Light of breathing life is she,

Spirit of immortality.

Lead me up thy stony stair,

O Spirit, into thy great air!

For his day of pain and tears

Is to man a thousand years.
