You have not felt the burden of lonely years Or known in cold nights memory that sears And chills the blood, invades the heart and mind Brings to searching blinded eyes the tears Of relentless sorrow solace cannot bind.
You have not seen the servant depart in peace Or watched the cancer of the world increase. The tears you shed are of the ego-kind And nether forces that use as they please Until we grow and higher nature find.
There are those descended here who brought the light And placed it in the bowels of the night, And though the clouds of doubt obscure their sun And death retains awhile his painful rite, Know in your soul God's victory is won.
