Subject(s): Sympathy; Empathy
She weaves around us widening sympathies,
Knowledge to measure all her variant moods—
If we but love her for herself, we rise
To higher levels in her solitudes—
Amid the healing silence of the woods
We can forgive the pettiness, the wrong,
The coward spite of many an evil tongue.
