Between your soul and mine.

The whole poem is one of the best things Holland ever did in rhyme. He was ambitious to be remembered as a poet, but he never excelled in verse unless he had something to express that was very near his heart. He was emphatically the Apostle of Common Sense. How beautifully he closes his loving tribute—

Ah, Blanco, did I worship God

As truly as you worship me,

Or follow where my Master trod

With your humility,

Did I sit fondly at his feet

As you, dear Blanco, sit at mine,

And watch him with a love as sweet,

My life would grow divine!
