Thoughts Too High (Based on Psalm 131)

Why dost thou cast thy thoughts upon

that which be high for thee

Thou ignorant one of minuscule mind

that be forlorn to see

For that thine pride doth lift thee up

to heights thou canst not reach

For knowledge base beyond thy mind

be much too great to breech

But cast thy will on that be

not vain and empty sea

The waters depth thou canst not cross

be much too deep for thee

Thine innocence of mother weened

forsaken rest and peace

The satisfaction lost in quest

for lying vanities

But question will thy learned path

of unknown remedies

Till thou dost know that God knows all

and giveth rest to thee

So venture not the sauntered path

that be too high for thee

Lest thou forsake the rest-filled state

that mother gave to thee
