THE WEB OF LIFE.

My life, which was so straight and plain, Has now become a tangled skein, Yet God still holds the thread; Weave as I may, his hand doth guide The shuttle's course, however wide The chain in woof be wed. One weary night, when years went by, I plied my loom with tear and sigh, In grief unnamed, untold; But when at last the morning's light Broke on my vision, pure and bright, There gleamed a cloth of gold. And now I never lose my trust, Weave as I may—and weave I must— That God doth hold the thread; He guides my shuttle on its way, He makes complete my task each day; What more, then, can be said?
