The Gate of the Year : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Gate of the Year "The Gate of the Year" is the popular name given to a poem by Minnie Louise Haskins. The title given to it by the author was "God Knows". She studied and then taught at the London School of Economics in the first half of the twentieth century. ==Background==
The poem, published in 1908, was part of a collection titled ''The Desert''. It caught the public attention and the popular imagination when the then–Princess Elizabeth handed a copy to her father, King George VI, and he quoted it in his 1939 Christmas broadcast to the British Empire. The poem was widely acclaimed as inspirational, reaching its first mass audience in the early days of the Second World War. Its words remained a source of comfort to the Queen for the rest of her life, and she had its words engraved on brass plaques and fixed to the gates of the King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle, where the King was interred. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother was also buried here in 2002, and the words of "The Gate of the Year" were included in a reflection in her funeral order of service. The poem was included in the closing moments of the 1940 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/Frank Borzage film ''The Mortal Storm'', starring Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart and Robert Young.
