SUFFERING · VERIFIED QUOTE
Marian Longfellow Quote
“He knows the bitter, weary way, The endless striving day by day, The souls that weep, the souls that pray           He knows! He knows! Oh thought so full of bliss! For though on earth our joy we miss, We still can bear it, feeling this,—           He knows! He knows; O heart take up thy cross, And know earth's treasures are but dross, And He will prove as gain our loss!           He knows.”
