Shall grieve for many a forfeit chance,
And longing passion unfulfilled.
Amen! Whatever fate be sent,
Pray God the heart may kindly glow,
Although the head with care be bent,
And whitened with the Winter’s snow.
“Come wealth or want, come good or ill,
Let old and young accept their part,
And bow before the awful will;
And bear it with an honest heart,
