Джон Гринлиф Уиттьер/ John Greenleaf Whittier
| Trust The same old baffling questions! O my friend, I cannot answer them. In vain I send My soul into the dark, where never burn The lamps of science, nor the natural light Of Reason's sun and stars! I cannot learn Their great and solemn meanings, nor discern The awful secrets of the eyes which turn Evermore on us through the day and night With silent challenge and a dumb demand, Proffering the riddles of the dread unknown, Like the calm Sphinxes, with their eyes of stone, Questioning the centuries from their veils of sand! I have no answer for myself or thee, Save that I learned beside my mother's knee; 'All is of God that is, and is to be; And God is good.' Let this suffice us still, Resting in childlike trust upon His will Who moves to His great ends unthwarted by the ill. | |
