POEM - 1

I lay in sorrow, deep distressed:

My grief a proud man heard;

His looks were cold, he gave me gold

But not a kindly word.

My sorrow passed-I paid him back

The gold he gave to me;

Then stood erect and spoke my thanks

And blessed his Charity.

I lay in want, in grief and pahi:

A poor man passed my way;

He bound my head he gave me bread

He watched me night and day.

How shall I pay him back again,

For all he did to me

Oh, gold is great, but greater far

Is heavenly Sympathy!
