The Human + 

Within each living man there doth reside, + 

In some unrifled chamber of the heart, + 

A hidden treasure: wayward as thou art + 

I love thee, man, and bind thee to my side! + 

By that sweet act I purify my pride + 

And hasten onward⁠—willing even to part + 

With pleasant graces: though thy hue is swart, + 

I bear thee company, thou art my guide! + 

Even in thy sinning wise beyond thy ken + 

To thee a subtle debt my soul is owing! + 

I take an impulse from the worst of men + 

That lends a wing unto my onward going; + 

Then let me pay them gladly back again + 

With prayer and love from Faith and Duty flowing! + 
