GOD IS ENOUGH

God is enough! thou, who in hope and fear

Toilest through desert sands of life, sore tried,

Climb, trustful, over death's black ridge, for near

The bright wells shine; thou wilt be satisfied.

God doth suffice! O thou, the patient one,

Who puttest faith in him, and none beside,

Bear yet thy load; under the setting sun

The glad tents gleam; thou wilt be satisfied

By God's gold Afternoon! peace ye shall have;

Man is in loss except he live aright,

And help his fellow to be firm and brave,

Faithful and patient; then the restful night.

--Edwin Arnold, from the Arabian.
