Trust

I am thy grass, O Lord!
   I grow up sweet and tall
But for a day; beneath Thy sword
   To lie at evenfall.
 
Yet have I not enough
   In that brief day of mine?
The wind, the bees, the wholesome stuff
   The sun pours out like wine.
 
Behold, this is my crown;
   Love will not let me be;
Love holds me here; Love cuts me down;
   And it is well with me.
 
Lord, Love, keep it but so;
   Thy purpose is full plain;
I die that after I may grow
   As tall, as sweet again.
