The Service without Hope

Emily Dickinson

The Service without Hope

779

The Service without Hope-
Is tenderest, I think-
Because 'tis unsustained
By stint-Rewarded Work-

Has impetus of Gain-
And impetus of Goal-
There is no Diligence like that
That knows not an Until-

Ethics and Morality Faith, Spirituality and Religion Purpose and Meaning of Life
