I am not justified in you, O brother,
But there is one who knows my heart,
And because he has delivered,
I know all things at last will mend.

What we know here on the pond side
Is awe surpassing reason’s truth.
Brightness blinding intuition
Wisdom tainted, Folly’s friend;

Unsought mystery, devious master,
Soul divided, perjured heart,
Faith confounded, anguished love--
Yet with a consecrated end.
