THE KNEELING CAMEL
The camel at the close of day kneels down upon the sandy plain To have his burden lifted off to rest again.
My soul, thou, too shouldst to thy knees when daylight draweth to a close And let the Master lift thy load and grant repose.
Else how canst 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 shouldst thou kneel at morning dawn that God may give thee daily care, Assured that He no load too great will make thee bear. Anna Temple in The Jewish Era
