Give me, dear Lord. the sweet philosophy
That will enable me. with friendly eye,
To view the things that have no joys for me-
The ways Of other men that pass me by.
I would not frown at folly, solemn-wise,
And be content shrewdly. to criticize. ~
Give me the wide philosophy that finds

Show me the tie that me TO others binds,
That makes men lovable, when Understood.
Too long I've had the narrower wish TO be
Clad in the garb Of cold austertty.
Give mo azfaith, Just for each common day,
Not in vague things beyond my ken and

Let me believe that down life's darkest way
The. CRIME and dust hide something sweet
and fair.
Let me find something in each sordid scene
OF hidden good that is, Or might have been.
