0 Man of mine own people, I alone
Among these alien ones can know thy face.
I who have felt the kinship of our race
Burn in me as I sit where they intone
Thy praises,-those who, striving to make known
A God for sacrifice, have missed the grace
Of thy sweet human meaning in its place,
Thou who art of our blood-bond and our own.
