Tabb Centenary Year XXIII

A quatrain by Rev. John B. Tabb.

Death

So sweet to tired mortality the night
   Of life’s laborious day,
That God himself, o’erwearied of the light,
   Within its shadow lay.

November 1894 (p. 363, Quatrains: Miscellaneous)

[Today is Holy Saturday, on which day Christians remember when the Lord Jesus lay in the power of death between His Crucifixion and Resurrection.]
