Ralph Waldo Emerson - Forebearance
Work rating: Medium

Hast thou named all the birds without a gun;
Loved the wood-rose, and left it on its stalk;
At rich men`s tables eaten bread and pulse;
Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust;
And loved so well a high behavior
In man or maid, that thou from speech refrained,
Nobility more nobly to repay?—
O be my friend, and teach me to be thine!
