WHEREFORE?
99
And do not tell me the Almighty Master
Would work a miracle to save the one,
And yield the other up to dire disaster,
By merely human justice thus outdone!

Vainly we weep and wrestle with our sorrow—
We cannot see His roads, they lie so broad:
But His eternal day knows no to-morrow,
And life and death are all the same with God.
