For I, a man, with men am linked, And not a brute with brutes; no gain That I experience must remain Unshared; but should my best endeavor To share it, fail—subsisteth ever God's care above, and I exult That God, by God's own ways occult, May—doth, I will believe—bring back All wanderers to a single track.
