    His looks were cold, he gave me gold

    My sorrow passed-I paid him back
    The gold he gave to me;
    Then stood erect and spoke my thanks
    And blessed his Charity.

    A poor man passed my way;
    He bound my head he gave me bread
    He watched me night and day.

    Oh, gold is great, but greater far
    Is heavenly Sympathy!
