Emily Dickinson
543 (1862)
   I fear a Man of frugal Speech- 
 I fear a Silent Man-  
 Haranguer-I can overtake- 
 Or Babbler-entertain
      But he who weigheth-While the Rest
 Expend their furthest pound- 
 Of this-I am wary-  
 I fear that He is Grand-

You're right. That does make it even better.
"I fear a Silent Man-"
basically sums up the conundrum of my spiritual life.
It's even cooler if you sing it to "The Yellow Rose of Texas" . . .
