o, IT rs HARD!
ale begs a brother Of the earth
10 give him leave TO toll :"

O, il is hard for work 10 want,
When the small store is growing scant;
When dire mishap each plan viii foil,
To beg brother worm for toll.
O, it is hard when with glazed eye,
And feyered cheek in sickness sigh,
In scanty poverty 10 roam,
And want the comforts of home.
When storms are raging, winds are high,
For bread the hungry children cry;
Then through deserted streets TO roam,
To bring the scanty morsel home.
o, it is hard in childhood's state,
To bear mans cold neglect and hate,
When the pittance that parents care
Is left behind, you cannot share.
o, il Is hard TO feel your worth
Derived not all from wealth or birth,
But from truly nobler kind,
Just principles of heart and mind.
Which threats intimidate not---no!
Nor brlbes mduse you TO forego;
Choose rather to be poor and wise,
And store your treasure In the skies.
When thosemushrooms whom wealth create
Pass by in all the pride OF state,
Subject you TO contempt and scorn,
Though you are nobler better, born.
But when this painful life is Ger,
And you reach heavens blissiul shore,
The reason and the end you'll know
Why earthly things are ordered so;
And then no longer hard twill prove,
But all be Joy, and peace, and love.
