Humility

Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton (1809–1885)

TO me men are for what they are,

They wear no masks with me.

I never sickened at the jar

Of ill-tuned flattery;

I never mourned affection lent

In folly or in blindness;—

The kindness that on me is spent

Is pure, unasking kindness.
