SYMPATHY

Let us read the poem ‘Sympathy’

I lay in sorrow, deep depressed…
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, and grief and pain.
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!

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!
