Obedience

Obedience

Trust him in the common light;

Trust him in the awesome night;

Trust him when the earth doth quake:

Trust him when thy heart doth ache;

Trust him when thy brain doth reel

And thy friend turns on his heel;

Trust him when the way is rough,

Cry not yet, “It is enough!”

But obey with true endeavour,

Else the salt hath lost his savour.
