RESIGNATION by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

First Line: LONG HAD I GRIEVED AT WHAT I DEEMED ABUSE
Last Line: GRIND ON, O POTENT GOD, AND DO THY WILL!

LONG had I grieved at what I deemed abuse;
But now I am as grain within the mill.
If so be thou must crush me for thy use,
Grind on, O potent God, and do thy will!
