Wanted by all the people-- A servant Born of those who serve and aspire Who has known want and trouble And all that passes in The Little House of the Poor: Lonely thought, counsels of love and prudence, The happiness born of a penny, The need of the strange and mighty dollar And the love of things above all its power of measurement. The dreams that come of weariness and the hard bed, The thirst for learning as a Great Deliverer. Who has felt in his heart the weakness and the strength of his brothers And, above all, the divinity that dwells in them. Who, therefore, shall have faith in men and women And knowledge of their wrongs and needs and of their proneness to error. Humbly must he listen to their voice, as one who knows that God will often speak in it, And have charity even for his own judgments. Thus removed, far removed from the conceit and vanity of Princes Shall he know how great is the master he has chosen to serve.
