Morning Dawn

The camel at the close of day
Kneels down upon the sandy plain
To have his burden lifted off
and rest again.

Then, too, O Traveler, to thy knees
When daylight draweth to a close
And let the Master lift thy load
And grant repose.

Else how wouldst thou tomorrow meet,
With all tomorrow's work to do
If thou the burden all the night'
Dost carry through?

The camel kneels at break of day
To have his guide replace the load:
Then rises up anew, to take.
The desert road

So, pilgrim, kneel at morning dawn,
That God may give thee daily care;
Assured that He no load too great,'
Will make thee bear.
