"I shall be satisfied," the promise reads,—
Appeased shall be all longings of desire,
Filled to the brim the measure of my needs,
Supplied in full all good that I require.
I shall be satisfied,—be freed from doubt;
Suspense, uncertainty, their flight shall take;
Complete assurance shall be brought about,—
I shall be satisfied, when I awake.
"When I awake,"—these things shall be discerned
When I shall cease to sleep in apathy,
Be careless, inattentive, unconcerned;
When I no longer shall live thoughtlessly.
When I awake,—O Father, speed the day
When of Thy truth alone I shall partake,
And put all childish dreams of sleep away.
I shall be satisfied, when I awake.
