POEM 10 NOVEMBER

On His Blindness
When I consider how my light is spent, Ere half my days, in this
dark world and wide, and that one Talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my Soul more bent to serve
therewith my Maker, and present My true account, lest he
returning chide; “Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?” I
fondly ask. But patience, to prevent that murmur, soon replies,
“God doth not need Either man’s work or his own gifts; who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His stateIs Kingly.
Thousands at his bidding speed And post o’er Land and Ocean
without rest: They also serve who only stand and wait.”
