“God’s will to know.”

“Will knowledge then suffice, New Year?” I cried;

But ere the question into silence died,

The answer came: “Nay; this remember, too,

God’s will to do.”

“To know; to do; can this be all we give

To Him in Whom we are, and move and live?

No more, New Year?” “This, too, must be your care:

God’s will to bear.”

Once more I asked: “Is there still more to tell?”
