The family
Language:
English
Man I am and man would be, Love merest man and nothing more.
Bid me seem no other ! Eagles boast of pinions let them soar!
I may put forth angel's plumage, once unmanned, but not before.
Now on earth, to stand suffices, nay, if kneeling serves, to kneel:
Here you front me, here I find the all of heaven that earth can feel:
Sense looks straight, not over, under, perfect sees beyond appeal.
Good you are and wise, full circle : what to me were more outside ?
Wiser wisdom, better goodness ? Ah, such want the angel's wide
Sense to take and hold and keep them ! Mine at least has never tried.
