Just stand aside, and watch yourself go by;
Think of yourself, as ‘he’ instead of ‘I.’
Pick flaws, find fault, forget the man is you,
And strive to make your estimate ring true.
The faults of others then will dwarf and shrink.
Love’s chin grows stronger by one mighty link,
When you with ‘he’ as substitute for ‘I,’
Have stood aside, and watched yourself go by.
