<DIV>That poem and much more make me think of another poem... as with the
lines above, I also took more than a few liberties with the lines below:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Times; FONT-SIZE: medium"
class=Apple-style-span>
<DT>'T'is by our follies that so long
<DT>We hold the earth from heaven away.
<DT>
<DT>"These clumsy feet, still in the mire,
<DT>Go crushing blossoms without end;
<DT>These hard, well-meaning hands we thrust
<DT>Among the heart-strings of a friend.
<DT>
<DT>"The ill-timed truth we might have kept--
<DT>Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung?
<DT>The word we had not sense to say--</SPAN>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Times; FONT-SIZE: medium"
class=Apple-style-span>Who knows how grandly it had rung!</SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Times; FONT-SIZE: medium"
class=Apple-style-span></DIV>
<DT>"For our blunders -- oh, in shame
<DT>Before the eyes of heaven we fall;
<DT>
<DT>Our faults no tenderness should ask.
<DT>The chastening stripes must cleanse them all.
<DT><BR>
<DT>
<DT>The jester's pleading voice arose:
<DT>"O Lord,Be merciful to me, a fool!
<DT>The king walked apart and murmured low:
<DT>"Be merciful to me, a fool!"</SPAN></DT></DIV>
