Thou hast but to resolve, and lo! God’s wholeGreat universe shall fortify thy soul.

When the great universe was wrought
To might and majesty from naught,
The all creative force was -

I know that the soul is aidedSometimes by the heart's unrest,And to grow means often to suffer --But whatever is--is best.

When the great universe was wroughtTo might and majesty from naught,The all creative force was -THOUGHT.

I know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the heart's unrest,
And to grow means often to suffer --
But whatever is--is best.

The human Will, that force unseen,The offspring of a deathless Soul,Can hew the way to any goal,Though walls of granite intervene.
