Most She Touched Me by Her Muteness

760
 
Most she touched me by her muteness—
Most she won me by the way
She presented her small figure—
Plea itself—for Charity—
 
Were a Crumb my whole possession—
Were there famine in the land—
Were it my resource from starving—
Could I such a plea withstand—
 
Not upon her knee to thank me
Sank this Beggar from the Sky—
But the Crumb partook—departed—
And returned On High—
 
I supposed—when sudden
Such a Praise began
’Twas as Space sat singing
To herself—and men—
 
’Twas the Winged Beggar—
Afterward I learned
To her Benefactor
Making Gratitude
