Default Poem Title Query

Maybe some of you good people can help me with this. Years ago I memorized a poem by Witter Bynner and now I've forgotten the title and can't find it on line. What I need is a good big old-fashioned library.

This is the poem:

What was given
Me at birth
Was not Heaven,
It was Earth.

Though some other
House be fine,
Strange old Father,
This is mine.
