    Phrase from a poem? Mine is:

    These Once Indeed Seemed Beings Divine
    And They Perchance Heard Vows Of Mine
    And Saw My Offerings On Their Shrines
    But Careless Gifts Are Seldom Prized
    And Mine Were Worthily Despised

    The entire poem is:

    Oh, thy bright eyes must answer now,
    When Reason, with a scornful brow,
    Is mocking at my overthrow!
    Oh, thy sweet tongue must plead for me
    And tell why I have chosen thee!

    Stern Reason is to judgment come,
    Arrayed in all her forms of gloom:
    Wilt thou, my advocate, be dumb?
    No, radiant angel, speak and say,
    Why I did cast the world away.

    Why I have persevered to shun
    The common paths that others run;
    And on a strange road journeyed on,
    Heedless, alike of wealth and power--
    Of glory's wreath and pleasure's flower.

    These, once, indeed, seemed Beings Divine;
    And they, perchance, heard vows of mine,
    And saw my offerings on their shrine;
    But careless gifts are seldom prized,
    And MINE were worthily despised.

    So, with a ready heart, I swore
    To seek their altar-stone no more;
    And gave my spirit to adore
    Thee, ever-present, phantom thing--
    My slave, my comrade, and my king.

    A slave, because I rule thee still;
    Incline thee to my changeful will,
    And make thy influence good or ill:
    A comrade, for by day and night
    Thou art my intimate delight,--

    My darling pain that wounds and sears,
    And wrings a blessing out from tears
    By deadening me to earthly cares;
    And yet, a king, though Prudence well
    Have taught thy subject to rebel

    And am I wrong to worship where
    Faith cannot doubt, nor hope despair,
    Since my own soul can grant my prayer?
    Speak, God of visions, plead for me,
    And tell why I have chosen thee!

    This is by Emily Bronte and the poem is called 'Plead For Me'

    i like the whole poem:

    ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

    “Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
    The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
    Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
    The frumious Bandersnatch!

    He took his vorpal sword in hand:
    Long time the manxome foe he sought—
    So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
    And stood awhile in thought.

    And as in uffish thought he stood,
    The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
    Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
    And burbled as it came!

    One, two! One, two! And through and through
    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
    He left it dead, and with its head
    He went galumphing back.

    “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
    Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
    O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
    He chortled in his joy.

    ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.
