Turn not from him who asks of thee
A portion of thy store;
Thou poor in worldly goods may�st be,
Yet canst give what is more.
The balm of comfort thou canst pour
Into his grieving mind,
Who oft is turned from wealth�s proud door,
With many a word unkind.
Does any from the false world find
Naught but reproach and scorn?
Does any, stung by words unkind,
Wish that he ne�er was born?
Do thou raise up his drooping heart,
Restore his wounded mind;
Though naught of wealth thou canst impart,
Yet till thou may�st be kind.
And oft again thy words shall wing
Backward their course to thee,
And in thy breast will prove a spring
Of pure felicity.
