GOD'S WILL by MILDRED HOWELLS

First Line: GOD MEANT ME TO BE HUNGRY
Last Line: DEEP IN THE EARTH'S DARK BREAST.
Subject(s): FATE; GOD; DESTINY;

God meant me to be hungry,
So I should seek to find
Wisdom, and truth, and beauty,
To satisfy my mind.

God meant me to be lonely,
Lest I should wish to stay
In some green earthly Eden
Too long from heaven away.

God meant me to be weary,
That I should yearn to rest
This feeble, aching body
Deep in the earth's dark breast.
