The Eternal Truth O wise one, still thy restless mind, And hearken to this truth divine: By  Supreme Will , all worlds arise, This cosmic play , His grand design. As day gives way to silent night, And night to dawn’s returning light, So ages roll in ceaseless flow, Each bears the deeds the Lord bestows. In every life the lines are cast Of joy, of grief, of birth, of past; No mortal hand can twist or break The law divine none may forsake. What fate has writ shall surely be, By none reversed, by none set free; Then why lament, O noble heart , For what was marked before life’s start? Alone you came through nature’s gate , Alone shall leave when ends your fate; Friends and kin, companions dear, Walk with you only while you’re here.

Offer each act, each word, each breath Unto the Lord who rules over death ; Thus tranquil, pure, and duty-bound, ...
