Forbearance

By Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hast thou named all the birds without a gun? Loved the wood-rose and left it on its stalk? At rich men's tables eaten bread and pulse? Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust? And loved so well a high behavior In man or maid, that thou from speech refrained, Nobility more nobly to repay? O, be my friend, and teach me to be thine! —Emerson.
