Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Элла Уилкокс) Recompense Straight through my heart this fact to-day, By Truth’s own hand is driven: God never takes one thing away, But something else is given. I did not know in earlier years, This law of love and kindness; I only mourned through bitter tears My loss, in sorrow’s blindness. But, ever following each regret O’er some departed treasure, My sad repining heart was met With unexpected pleasure. I thought is only happened so; But time this truth taught me – No least thing from my life can go, But something else is brought to me. It is the Law, complete, sublime; And now, with Faith unshaken, In patience I but bide my time When any joy is taken. No matter if the crushing blow May for the moment down me, Still, back of it waits Love, I know With some new gift to crown me.
