It is because of weakness
That we trample under our feet
What is of worth, even meekness

An old sense of the verb hark (which mainly means to listen) was used in hunting with hounds, where the phrase hark back denoted the act of returning along the course taken to recover a lost scent. 1 This is the origin of the modern sense of hark back, which means to recall, to return, or to retrace one's steps.

Hark, harken, and hearken
