Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

this stanza is one of 32 that comprise the poem. to me it corresponds with a line from the Alec Baldwin/Meg Ryan movie Prelude to a Kiss: "never to be squandered, the miracle of another human being." That might not be exactly right, it's been a long time since I watched the flick.
