Seize traits of the living and human,—no copy of copy and cast!

Seize traits of the living and human,—no copy of copy and cast!
Nor swaddle the theme of the Present in fable and lore of the Past;
Find love in hearts that are nighest, contentment in common things,
And give to the creeping moment the lightness and glimmer of wings.
