• Book of change

For those who never know the light
The darkness is a sullen thing
And they the children of the night
Seem lost in fortunes winnowing

And if there be no other life
And if there be no other chance
To weigh their sorrow and their strife
Than in the scales of circumstance

‘twere better ere the sun go down
upon the first day we embark
in life’s imbittered sea to drown
than sail forever in the dark

But if there be a soul on earth
So blinded with its own misuse
Of man’s revealed incessant worth

Or worn with anguish that it views

No light but for the mortal eye
No rest but of a mortal sleep
No God but in a prophet’s lie
No faith for honest doubt to keep

If there be nothing good or bad
But chaos for a soul to trust
God counts it for a soul gone mad
And if God be God He is just

But some are strong and some are
Weak and there’s the story
House and home are shut from
Countless hearts that seek

World-refuge that will never come.
