| | | I SAID, This task is keen— | |
| But even while I spake, Thou, Love divine | |
| Didst stand behind and gently over-lean | |
| My drooping form, and oh, what task had been | |
| Too stern for feebleness with help of Thine? | 5 |
| Spell Thou this lesson with me line by line, | |
| The sense is rigid, but the voice is dear; | |
| Guide Thou my hand within that hand of Thine, | |
| Thy wounded hand, until its tremblings take | |
| Strength from Thy touch, and even for Thy sake | 10 |
| Trace out each character in outline clear. | | | | |
