Poem: “Just One Request”
“Dear Master for this coming year
Just one request I bring:
I do not pray for happiness,
Or any earthly thing—
I do not ask to understand
The way Thou leadest me,

That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least

How should we like it if stars were to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot
