For the faith that is not broken
By the burden of the day; / For the word that is not spoken / (Dearest words are slow to say); / For the golden draught unproffered / To the thirst that thirsteth on; / For the hand that is not offered / When the struggling strength is gone; / For the sturdy heart that will not / Make a pauper of my need; / Friend, I mean sometime to thank thee, / From my soul, in truth and deed. / Wait! Some day, when I am braver, / I will do so -- say so. Now / (Oh! be tender! ) I am tired; / I have forgotten how.
