by Ivor (Bertie) Gurney (1890 - 1937)
Song and pain
Language: English
Out of my sorrow have I made these songs, out of my sorrow; Though somewhat of the makings eager pain from joy did borrow. Some day, I trust, God's purpose of pain for me shall be complete, And then to enter in the house of joy... Prepare, my feet.
