THAT part is finished! I lay down my pen, And wonder if the thoughts will flow as fast Through the more difficult defile. For the last Was easy, and the channel deeper then. My Master, I will trust Thee for the rest; Give me just what Thou wilt, and that will be my best; How can I tell the varied, hidden need Of Thy dear children, all unknown to me, Who at some future time may come and read What I have written? All are known to Thee. As Thou hast helped me, help me to the end; Give me Thy own sweet messages of love to send. So now, I pray Thee, keep my hand in Thine, And guide it as Thou wilt. I do not ask To understand the "wherefore" of each line; Mine is the sweeter, easier, happier task: Just to look up to Thee for every word, Rest in Thy love, and trust, and know that I am heard. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A POET, WHO WOULD HAVE ME PRAISE CERTAIN BAD POETS, IMITATORS ... by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS NEARER by ROBERT MALISE BOWYER NICHOLS BEFORE AND AFTER by OLIVER MADOX BROWN A LAY OF THE EARLY ROSE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THE HERETIC'S TRAGEDY by ROBERT BROWNING THE RING AND THE BOOK: BOOK 6.
