They take in human strife.
37 -^ AN APPEAL.
Written for a Charity Fair.
See ye the poor that wait, At the fair city's gate, Hungry for bread?
Hear ye the waiiing cry From those who starve and die When hope has fled?
Know ye the thousand hearts That break, when life departs Freighted with grief, Temptation, doubts and fears,.
And human anguish-tears.
With no relief?
The children! who can tell Where little children dwell Who have no home ?
Who teaches them to pray At eve and dawn of day, Beneath ...the dome?
This be our work to do, As life we journey through, All bruised reeds To bind; all hearts to cheer; Be to the mourner near; Plant flowers for weeds.
38 -^ PLEADINGS.
Wl^ITTEN FOR A ChARITY FaIR The winter, chill and dreary, Is sitting by the door; The poor a- cold and weary, No carpet on the floor, No bread within the cupboard.
Within the grate no fire; Watch lest he gain an entrance To them misfortune dire.
t Wan sickness comes appalling , Within the home no light; Death ! They alone must meet it _With darkness and the night Bethink you, it is fearful To feel that death is near,--- None to give the v/ater-cup No word to bless or cheer.
