Self-knowledge

"LEt, not soft slumber

close your eyes,

Before you've recollected thrice

The train of action

through the day!

Where have my feet

chose out their way?

what I have learnt,

where'er i've been,

From all i've heard,

From all i've seen?

What have 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 lead to virtue

and to God."
