Poem by Unknown - "Morning Dawn"

The camel as the close of day,
Kneels down upon the sandy plain,
To have his burden lifted off,
And rest again

Then too, O Traveler, to thy knees
When daylight draweth to a close,
And let the Mater lift thy load,
And grant repose.

Else how wouldst thou tomorrow meet,
With all tomorrow’s work to do
If thou the burden all the night,
Dost carry through?

The camel kneels at break of day,
To have his guide replace the load,
Then rises up anew, to take
The desert road.

So, pilgrim, kneel at morning dawn,
That God may give thee daily care;
Assured that He no load too great,
Will make thee bear.
