the fullest heart

a better measure of the fullest heart
is all the glory of most needed joy
one thing that all the world cannot destroy

we leave to you the larger harder part
expect to see you with all force deploy
a better measure of the fullest heart

natural glory exceeds that of art
the full-grown man has no need of the toy
but knows the wisdom of the growing boy
a better measure of the fullest heart
