However inexplicable may seem
Event and circumstance upon this earth,
Though favours fall on those whom none esteem,
And insult and indifference greet worth;
And riches spring where idle feet have trod,
Yet Justice sways the universe of God.
Beyond the glare of day’s obscuring light,
But when, once freed, the illumined soul looks out.
Its cry will be, ‘O God, how could I doubt!’
