THE HUMAN TOUCH by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: HIGH THOUGHTS AND NOBLE IN ALL LANDS
Last Line: THESE NEED I MOST, AND NOW, AND HERE.
Subject(s): LIFE; SOUL; THOUGHT; TOUCH (SENSE); THINKING;

HIGH thoughts and noble in all lands
Help me; my soul is fed by such.
But ah, the touch of lips and hands, --
The human touch!
Warm, vital, close, life's symbols dear, --
These need I most, and now, and here.
