Thistle Down

By Ethel

My Time

I know my time,
Is not for long.
I know soon finished,
Is my song.

That there will come,
Another day.
When I have up,
And gone away.

And when I have gone,
From noon till night.
And caught the white-birds,
In their flight.

When I have gone,
From night till morn.
And watched the Primrose,
Coloring...and being born.

Then...will I know,
That God has forgiven.
And that He will take me,
Straight to heaven.


E.P. 1908 - 1989
