The Goad






The sharpest goad is my surest friend
and stern rebuke the sweetest gift
  as a blind man quicker heeds the sharper hedge
or the reckless child a louder call;
so my soul, when pricked
by your strong and guiding hand
  heeds what it would oft’ ignore
  and thus is saved from such ruinous ends
  and brought safely to heaven’s shores.







Author notes



Train me, that I might be more than I now am.
