Drowning is not so pitiful

 Drowning is not so pitiful
As the attempt to rise
Three times, 'tis said, a sinking man
Comes up to face the skies,
And then declines forever
To that abhorred abode,
Where hope and he part company --
For he is grasped of God.

The Maker's cordial visage,
However good to see,
Is shunned, we must admit it,
Like an adversity.
