<h2><SPAN name="page167"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>UNDERSTOOD</h2>
<p class="poetry">I value more than I despise<br/>
My tendency to sin,<br/>
Because it helps me sympathise<br/>
With all my tempted kin.</p>
<p class="poetry">He who has nothing in his soul<br/>
That links him to the sod,<br/>
Knows not that joy of self-control<br/>
Which lifts him up to God.</p>
<p class="poetry">And I am glad my heart can say,<br/>
When others trip and fall<br/>
(Although I safely passed that way),<br/>
‘I understand it all.’</p>
