Augustin S. Macdonald, comp. A Collection of Verse by California Poets. 1914.

By Joaquin Miller

Mankind (excerpt)

IN men whom men pronounce divine,

I find so much of sin and blot;

In men whom men denounce as ill

I find so much of goodness still,

I hesitate to draw the line

Between the two, when God has not.
