By Trench

Not from us, O Lord, but we Do ourselves withdraw from thee.
WHEN we are dark and dead, And thou art covered with a cloud, Hanging before thee like a shroud, So that our prayer can find no way, Oh! teach us that we do not say, “Where is thy brightness fled?”
But that we search and try What in ourselves has wrought this blame, For thou remainest still the same; But earth’s own vapors earth may fill With darkness and thick clouds, while still The sun is in the sky.
—Trench.
