Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see

The distant scene—one step’s enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou

Shouldst lead me on;

I loved to choose and see my path, but now

Lead thou me on!

I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,

Pride ruled my will; remember not past years.

So long thy power hath blessed me, sure it still

Will lead me on;
