[Written for the Sentinel]

Understanding

Have I a trial hard to bear?
Not if I, understanding, see
That God, the sole creator, made
No erring human theory.

Thus human fears will disappear
If I am striving day by day,
In every little thing I do,
The First Commandment to obey.

Have I a trial hard to bear?
Not if I, understanding, see
That God, the sole creator, made
Perfection. This will set me free.
