How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!”

To do the things I ought!
Then let me try with all my might
To mind what I am taught.”

And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?

Few use the grand prerogative of mind.

How many never think, who think they do!”
