What Best I See In Thee

July 6, 2023What Am I After All
What am I after all but a child, pleas`d with the sound of my own name? repeating it over and over;
I stand apart to hear – it never tires me.
To you your name also;
Did you think there was nothing but two or three
pronunciations in the sound of your name?
