Even if thou rain down intuition’s rays, The mind of man will think it earth’s own gleam, His spirit by spiritual ego sink, Or his soul dream shut in sainthood’s brilliant cell Where only a bright shadow of God can come: His hunger for the eternal thou must nurse And fill his yearning heart with heaven’s fire And bring God down into his body and life.

One who has shaped this world is ever its lord: Our errors are his steps upon the way; He works through the fierce vicissitudes of our lives, He works through the hard breath of battle and toil, He works through our sins and sorrows and our tears, His knowledge overrules our nescience; Whatever the appearance we must bear, Whatever our strong ills and present fate, When nothing we can see but drift and bale, A mighty Guidance leads us still through all.
