Better Angels
Better Angels
The better angels of our nature
The higher aspects of our hearts
The deeper yearnings of our beings
The true summation of our parts
It is to this that I aspire
It is to this my soul assumes
To the highest but no higher
Only what a man presumes
Only where the best have been
Only where the saints have trod
To be less would would be a sin
To be more would be a god
