HE turned his face apart, and gave a sigh
And a strange whimper-such a pitiful thing
As haunts the heart for days. -Yes, Love can bring
Unto a pass so low that it seems high:
And, when we see a brave and strong man cry
With a poor infant's feeble sorrowing,
It is a nobler passion than to wing
Shafts of small angers and small prides,â? thought I.
There is a love so deaf that it can hear
Not even its own voice which bids it seek
A name for its own meanness: it would find
The outlet else. But thus it is a sheer
Humility-an earnestness so meek
That your knees bow and sharp tears make you blind.
