TAKE NO THOUGHT.

By Thomas Burridge

Oh, leave thyself to God; and if, indeed, 'Tis given thee to perform so vast a task, Think not at all, think not, but kneel and ask. O friend, by thought was never creature freed From any sin, from any mortal need. Be patient, not by any thought canst thou devise What course of life for thee is right and wise. It will be written up, and thou wilt read. Oft, like a sudden pencil of rich light Piercing the thickest umbrage of the wood, Will shoot, amidst our troubles infinite, The Spirit's voice; oft, like the balmy flood Of morn, surprise the universal night With glory, and make all things sweet and good. —Thomas Burridge.
