A FRAGMENT.
I ask no gift of power divine To enter realms of mystic thought; To bid the light of genius shine Upon the ideals I had taught, But just that I might oft rehearse Some noble thought in modest verse. The power to touch another's heart, And, maybe, ease his couch of pain, And dimly feel — though wide apart — The song I sang was not in vain. A simple verse, that he should know A fellow feeling moved me so. RODERICK MaGDONALD
