A poem by William Sharp

XXXIV.

Thou speakest every tongue on earth,
Or rather, all mankind
Interpret that sweet language
Which whispers to the mind;
To thy voice every heart responds,
All worship at thy shrine,
However rude the offering be,
Thou mightiest of the Nine!
In the full womb of coming time,
Methinks I view in thee
A link to join in bonds of love
The human family.
