Hymn to Humility

The humble man is not ashamed of himself

nor does he feel sad;

he does not know guilt complexes

nor beg out of self-pity;

he does not feel upset or angry,

and returns good for evil;

he does not look out for himself,

but rather lives surrounded by others.

He is capable of pardoning

and closes the doors to rancor.

From time to time the humble man appears

to all to be dressed

in sweetness and patience,

meekness and strength,

gentleness and vigor,

maturity and serenity.

The path of humility always ends in love.
