Outright to God, without a further care,—

But not to any parent in the world,—

So to be safe: why is it we repine?

What guardianship were safer could we choose?

All human plans and projects come to naught:

My life, and what I know of other lives,

Prove that: no plan nor project! God shall care!

And now you are not tired? How patient then

All of you,—oh yes, patient this long while

Listening, and understanding, I am sure!
