But most I pray Thee for a humble heart,
Content to spend its all in loving. I
Would be like that sweet spring which offers up
Its pebbled chalice to the traveler's lips,
Nor cares who stoops to taste its wayside wine,
So that it quenches some compelling thirst,
Cleanses some sweaty toiler's dusty brow,
Or laves a pilgrim's weary, stone-bruised feet.
