I know not if the voice of man can reach to the sky; 

 I know not if the mighty one will hear as I pray; 

 I know not if the gifts I ask will all granted be: 

 I know not if the word of old we truly can hear; 

 I know not what ^vill come to pass in our futiire days; 

 I hope that only good will come, my children, to you.
