In me, is such mock marriage with such mere

Man-mask as—whom you witless wrong, beside,

By that expenditure of heart and brain

He recks no more of than would yonder tree

If watered with your life-blood: rains and dews

Answer its ends sufficiently, while me

One drop saves—sends to flower and fruit at last

The laggard virtue in the soul which else

Cumbers the ground! Quicken me! Call me yours—

Yours and the world's—yours and the world's and God's!
