God, Soul, And World.
Who trusts in God, Fears not His rod. - This truth may be by all believed: Whom God deceives, is well deceived. - How? when? and where? No answer comes from high; Thou wait'st for the Because, and yet thou ask'st not Why? - If the whole is ever to gladden thee, That whole in the smallest thing thou must see. - Water its living strength first shows, When obstacles its course oppose. - Transparent appears the radiant air, Though steel and stone in its breast it may bear; At length they'll meet with fiery power, And metal and stones on the earth will shower. Whate'er a living flame may surround, No longer is shapeless, or earthly bound. 'Tis now invisible, flies from earth, And hastens on high to the place of its birth.
