God Knows.

By A. J. McDougall

I WILL not murmur when small things go wrong, When plans of mine, long cherished, weaken, fall; When hushed upon my lips is life's glad song; When joys long sought have vanished past recall— God knows—God knows.

I will not weakly weep the hours away, Tho Marah's waters flow around my feet, Tho life's fair sky be shadowed leaden gray, Tho rue be mine instead of roses sweet— God knows—God knows.

I will not drop from weary hands, toil-worn, The task unfinished, tho a burden sore; Tho earth's fair pleasures from my grasp be torn, Tho sorrow's keenest pain my cup brim o'er— God knows—God knows. —A. J. McDougall.
