Because the gracious pathway is made plain.

And as we watch the slant lines, gold and dun,

Bridge heaven’s distance all intent to bless,

And cavil not if we or other one

Shall have the larger portion or the less,

So with unvexèd eye I mark and see

Where blessed and blessing your sweet days are spent;

And though another win more love from thee,

Having my share I am therewith content.
