And what, when all 's done, shall be said

But—the more gifted he, I ween!

That one 's made Christ, this other, Pilate,

And this might be all that has been,—

So what is there to frown or smile at?

What is left for us, save, in growth

Of soul, to rise up, far past both,

From the gift looking to the giver,

And from the cistern to the river,

And from the finite to infinity,
