Christina Rossetti - A Life's Parallels lyrics

Never on this side of the grave again, On this side of the river, On this side of the garner of the grain, Never,-- Ever while time flows on and on and on, That narrow noiseless river, Ever while corn bows heavy-headed, wan, Ever,-- Never despairing, often fainting, ruing, But looking back, ah never! Faint yet pursuing, faint yet still pursuing Ever.
