Explore "Nigel Browning" by Agnes Giberne on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be / A pleasant road; / I do not ask that Thou would'st take from me / Aught of its load; / I do not ask that flowers should always spring / Beneath my feet; / I know too well the poison and the sting / Of things too sweet; / For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord, I plead- / Lead me aright; / Though strength should falter, and though heart / should bleed, / Through Peace to Light. "-A. A. PROCTER.
STRANGE to say-or others thought it strange-Nigel was more knocked down by the blow than almost any one.
