This Only

Bring me not wisdom, Though folly be vain: Bring me not riches. Though poverty's pain; Bring'me not splendor, Though rags may be vile. Bring me not glory. But teach me to smile. ) Give me not power, Though smallness be mean; Give me not grandeur, But make me serene; Bring me not homage. But leave me obscure, If mine be the courage To hope and endure.
