POEMS OF PEACE
And I may seek and find; I may achieve;
I may not claim, but, losing, may retrieve.
The Law bends not for me, but I must bend
Unto the Law, if I would reach the end
Of my afflictions, if I would restore
My soul to Light and Life, and weep no more.
Not mine the arrogant and selfish claim
To all good things; be mine the lowly aim
To seek and find, to know and comprehend,
And wisdom-ward all holy footsteps wend.
Nothing is mine to claim or to command,
But all is mine to know and understand.
