Flesh and bone and nerve that make

The poorest coarsest human hand

An object worthy to be scanned

A whole life long for their sole sake.

Shall earth and the cramped moment-space

Yield the heavenly crowning grace?

Now the parts and then the whole!

Who art thou, with stinted soul

And stunted body, thus to cry,

'I love,—shall that be life's strait dole?
