226. Crushed pride

```

Father, why have You

Crushed my pride?

"Daughter, so you will mingle and dance

With the dust."

Father, why do You want me

To mingle and dance with the dust?

"Daughter, because I want

Your humility-heart

To be My victory-banner,

Your purity-life

To be My tallest mast."
