Who does not stand alone;
Don't trust to other people's eyes,
But learn to mind your own.

With hurt warm breast, that has no speech to tell
Its inward pang, and I would soothe it well

With tender touch.

You learned it all.

How vast its power may be,

Nor what results unfolded dwell
Within it silently.

Our love and our fear,

To give signs we and they are his children,
One family here.

And streams that murmur as they run,

Had been his dearest joy.

Oh come, then, quickly come!

We are budding, we are blowing :
And the wind that we perfume

Sings a tune that's worth the knowing.

But never hope to stir the hearts of men, And mould the hearts of many into one,

By words which come not native from the heart.

Fresh youth, and joyous, and kind heart

Gleam in his azure eye:

And though I scarcely know his voice

I think he cannot lie.

To heal all grief, to ease all care.
