In Due Good Time
This life of ours has much of grief and woe:
How it will end we none of us can know;
And that is just as well for us, since we
Have quite enough of present misery!.
We should not seek to learn too much too soon:
In due good time we’ll find the promised boon
Of peaceful quietness; and then, perhaps, we’ll know
Why this seeming imperfect world has been made so!.
