The Vail
Topics: classic
He only sees both sides of that dark vail That hangs before men's eyes-- He only. It is well! Hope ever stands unseen Behind the screen, For knowledge would bring Hope to sudden death, And cloud the present with the coming ill. I would lie still, Dear Lord, I would lie still, And stay my troubled heart on Thee, Obedient to Thy will.
