I cannot want it more --
I cannot want it less --
My Human Nature's fullest force
Expends itself on this.
And yet it nothing is
To him who easy owns --
Is Worth itself or Distance
He fathoms who obtains.
I cannot want it more --
I cannot want it less --
My Human Nature's fullest force
Expends itself on this.
And yet it nothing is
To him who easy owns --
Is Worth itself or Distance
He fathoms who obtains.
