To a Republican Friend

God knows it,

I am with you.

If to

Those virtues, priz'd and practis'd by too few,

But priz'd, but lov'd, but eminent in you,

Man's fundamental life: if to

The barren optimistic

Of comfortable moles, whom what they

Teaches the limit of the just and true—And for such doing have no need of eyes:

If sadness at the long heart-wasting

Wherein earth's great ones are disquieted:

If thoughts, not idle, while before me

The armies of the homeless and unfed:—If these are yours, if this is what you are,

Then am I yours, and what you feel,

I share.
