When I consider how my light is spent,
\nE’re half my days, in this dark world and wide,
\nAnd that one Talent which is death to hide,
\nLodg’d with me useless, though my Soul more bent
\nTo serve therewith my Maker, and present
\nMy true account, least he returning chide,
\nDoth God exact day-labour, light deny’d,
\nI fondly ask; But patience to prevent
\nThat murmur, soon replies, God doth not need
\nEither man’s work or his own gifts, who best
\nBear his milde yoak, they serve him best, his State
\nIs Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed
\nAnd post o’re Land and Ocean without rest:
\nThey also serve who only stand and waite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t
