Sunday at Home
HELP. Dream not, O soul! that easy is the task Thus set before thee. If it proves, at length. As well it may, beyond thy natural strength, Doubt not, despair not. As a child may ask A father, pray the Everlasting Good For light and guidance through the subtle snares Of sin thick-planted in life’s thoroughfares, For spiritual nerve and moral hardihood. Still listening ’midst the noises roundabout Of time and sense, the Inward-speaking Word, Bitter in blame, sweet in approval heard, Piercing the tumu It of the world without; To health of soul a voice to cheer and please, To guilt the wrath of the Bumenides! —John Greenleaf Whittier.
