How can one man, how can all men, How can we be like St. Paul, Like St. John, or like St. Peter, Like the least of all Blessed Saints? for we are small. Love can make us like St. Peter, Love can make us like St. Paul, Love can make us like the blessed Bosom friend of all, Great St. John, tho' we are small Love which clings and trusts and worships, Love which rises from a fall, Love which, prompting glad obedience, Labours most of all, Love makes great the great and small. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MORTAL COMBAT by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE CHAMBER MUSIC: 36 by JAMES JOYCE MADLY SINGING IN THE MOUNTAINS by PO CHU-YI THE PRAYER PERFECT by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY THE WORLD'S WAY by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE CONFIDENT SCIENTIST by ALEXIS THE TWO DREAMS by GIOVANNI BOCCACCIO |
