The Poems of John Byrom | ||
HUMILITY.
Profound Humility! Of every graceThat virtue of a God made Man takes place,—
Wise as an old man, simple as a child,
Like a youth courageous, like a suckling mild;
64
Seeks its own nothingness, and enjoys them all.
Fountain of every pure untainted joy,
Spring of perpetual sweets that never cloy!
True liberty of spirit fills the breast,
With all the riches of Heaven's Kingdom blest.
