LOVE'S HUMILITY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

First Line: AS SOME RAPT GAZER ON THE LOWLY EARTH
Last Line: LOOK LONGING UP TO THEE AS TO A STAR.

As some rapt gazer on the lowly earth,
Looks up to radiant planets, ranging far,
So I, whose soul doth know thy wondrous worth
Look longing up to thee as to a star.
