| HOW many humble hearts have dipped | |
| In you, and scrawled their manuscript! | |
| Have shared their secrets, told their cares, | |
| Their curious and quaint affairs! | |
| Your pool of ink, your scratchy pen, | 5 |
| Have moved the lives of unborn men, | |
| And watched young people, breathing hard, | |
| Put Heaven on a postal card. |
