Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADEF AGHGAGIG AJKJALML AGNGAOPO AQ QARSR ATUTAVWVI'm tired I'm tired of life brother | A |
Of all that meets my eye | B |
And my weary spirit fain would pass | C |
To worlds beyond the sky | B |
For there is naught on earth brother | A |
For which I'd wish to live | D |
Not all the glittering gauds of wealth | E |
One hour of peace can give | F |
- | |
I'm weary sick at heart brother | A |
Of heartless pomp and show | G |
And ever comes some cloud to dim | H |
The little joy I know | G |
This world is not the world brother | A |
It seemed in days agone | G |
When I viewed it through the rainbow mists | I |
Of childhood's rosy dawn | G |
- | |
I would not pain your heart brother | A |
I know you love me well | J |
And that love is laid upon my soul | K |
E'en as a holy spell | J |
But I'm weary of this world brother | A |
This world of sin and care | L |
And my spirit fluttereth to be free | M |
To mount the upper air | L |
- | |
I know not of the world brother | A |
To which I wish to go | G |
And perhaps my soul may there awake | N |
To know a deeper woe | G |
They say the pure of earth brother | A |
Find there undying bliss | O |
While all the wicked ones are cast | P |
Into a dark abyss | O |
- | |
I look upon the stars brother | A |
That gem the vault of blue | Q |
And when they tell me 'God is love ' | - |
I feel it must be true | Q |
For I see on all around brother | A |
The impress of a hand | R |
That blendeth and uniteth all | S |
In one harmonious band | R |
- | |
I am that which I am brother | A |
As the Creator made | T |
To Him all holy and all pure | U |
No fault can e'er be laid | T |
He knows my weakness well brother | A |
And I can trust his love | V |
To bear me safe through Jordan's stream | W |
To brighter worlds above | V |
