These lines are from "The Gate of the Year," a poem written in 1908 by Minnie Louise Haskins:

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year

"Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown." 

And he replied, "Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God 

That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way!"
