I just reread this poem after not reading it for over 25 years. I had a copy of it folded in my Bible as a child--it is such an amazing poem. God can take the lowliest to be do significant things.

Surely the poem has been mis-quoted - it should be "tattered outlaw" not "battered".
With the wrong word, it weakens the power of "starve, scourge, deride me".

Such an amazing poen.
Just like the story "Gift of the Magi"
Such ones come in once a life time may be.
An insignificant animal (meaning a person) like the donkey had its moments in life, had its greatness.
Never ever judge a book by its cover they say.
