First Line: I am myself -- poor, foolish, weak

Subject(s): Self
I am myself -- poor, foolish, weak --
Plus other men to whom I speak,
The stronger men with whom I walk,
And watch their ways and heed their talk.
Some are alive with whom I tread,
And some are those that men call dead;
Some I accost in shop or street,
And some in blessed books I meet.
But wheresoe'er these friends may be,
Each is an increment for me, --
My life is all a happy sum;
I'll add as long as figures come!
