Thoughts I may not attempt to relate.

When fortune’s wheel turns, will the gate opened be,

Be opened for me to come through?

Shall I find the same friends and the dear quiet room,

And my former engagements pursue?

To Him who controls all the myriad worlds,

With Him would I leave each event;

I would move in his order, and walk in his light,

And know that my time is well spent.

Then whether I ever that gate pass, or not,
