��Adelaide Anne Procter (1820-1804).

I DO not ask, Lord, that life may be A pleasant road ; I do not ask that thou wouldst take from me Aught of its load.

I do not ask that flowers should always spring

Beneath mv feet : I know too well the poison and the sting

Of things too sweet.

For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord, I plead :

Lead me aright, Though strength should falter and though heart should bleed,

Through peace to light.

I do not ask, Lord, that thou shouldst shed

Full radiance here ; Give but a ray of peace, that I may tread

Without a fear.

I do not ask my cross to understand.

My way to see ; Better in darkness just to feel thy hand.

And follow thee.

Joy IS like restless day, but peace divine

Like quiet night ; Lead me, Lord, till perfect day shall shine

Through peace to light.
