Explore "Understood" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I value more than I despise / My tendency to sin, / Because it helps me sympathise / With all my tempted kin.
He who has nothing in his soul / That links him to the sod, / Knows not that joy of self-control / Which lifts him up to God.
And I am glad my heart can say, / When others trip and fall / (Although I safely passed that way), / ‘I understand it all. '
