Our sun a darkness, and our day a night.
4 A little longer, and thy heart, belovéd,
Shall beat for ever with a love divine;
And joy so pure, so mighty, so eternal,
No mortal knows, and lives, shall then be thine.
5 A little longer yet, and angel voices
Shall sing in heavenly chant upon thine ear;
Angels and saints await thee, and God needs thee;
Belovéd, can we bid thee linger here!
