NEW YEAR'S MOTTOES: 12 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: THE FUTURE! WHO MAY LIFT THE VEIL
Last Line: IT SHALL BE AS THE MASTER SAITH.
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; NEW YEAR;
THE future! who may lift the veil
And read its yet unwritten tale?
But sorrow and joy alike we leave
In the Hand that doeth all things well,
And calmly from that Hand receive
All that each coming year may tell.
We would not ask of life or death,
It shall be as the Master saith.
