Then be content, poor heart!
God's plans, like lilies pure and
white, unfold
We must not tear the close-shut
leaves apart
Time will reveal the chalices
of gold.
And when with patient toil we
reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals
loosed may rest,
There we shall clearly see and
understand,
O, be content, poor heart, God
knoweth best.
