And dost Thou bless the end? O Lord of Life / And the Beginning, Lord of the New Birth, / Lord of the dancing April days of earth! / When the sour chills of Autumn winds are rife, / And Summer faints and withers in the strife / Of tempests and the strangling grips of dearth, / Dost Thou still bless the End?
O Lord of the world's morning! -- Thou canst bless, / Birth-pangs and travail -- Thou hast hallowed all -- / But canst Thou bless the turning to the wall / Of dying eyes? the panting slow distress / Of those who fear the clutch of Nothingness? / When into death's cold deeps Thy servants fall, / Dost Thou still bless the End?
