Our life, as then we find it, still unfolds
Through the resistless tide or undertow
Of an involuntary force, which holds
Us in the true unerring course—controls
The flow of voluntary, as below,
Yet gives a sense of acting from free will;
But well we know the power to will must flow,
With all our opportunities, from still
Profounder prior source, whence we derive all skill.
