Self-Inquiry

Let not soft slumber close my eyes, Before I ’ve recollected thrice The train of action through the day! Where have my feet chose out their way? What have I learnt, where’er I ’ve been, From all I have heard, from all I ’ve seen? What know I more that ’s worth the knowing? What have I done that ’s worth the doing? What have I sought that I should shun? What duty have I left undone? Or into what new follies run?   These self-inquiries are the road   That leads to virtue and to God.
