THE HOUR-GLASS
Wise Man
I know enough, that know God's will prevails.
Fool
Waiting till the moment had come—That is what the one out there was saying, but I might tell you what you asked. That is what he was saying.
Wise Man
Be silent. May God's will prevail on the instant,
Although His will be my eternal pain.
I have no question:
It is enough, I know what fixed the station
Of star and cloud.
And knowing all, I cry
That what so God has willed
On the instant be fulfilled,
Though that be my damnation.
