And in abundance let my lab"rs emu

When 10 his sleeping eyes VISION came
Ina prnnhe,s form, shining with light like day;
The Prophets voice addressed him by his name:

The Almighty crowd into a single day;
Tomorrow g sunset ends thy cares and fears,
Tomorrow brings thy ages destined pay
With mornings dawn the old man grateful wakes

A feast he makes-he welcomes in the poor,
And for himself single meal he saves.
The feast is finished; at the open door,
A stranger stands, who for admission Graves.
Have pity on all outcast; give me food.
And peace rest on thee" With quick reply,
"Con,s eat with mo-" suys Hassan; "God 10 good;
What matter if with half meal diei"
The stranger ate, and grateful, took his way
Hassan was left alone, when once again,
A cry disturbed the calm of closing day
The cry of ono in hungers bitter pain
The old man hastes to help the beggar in,
And gives him all that for himself he meant;
Wishing, indeed, it had more plenty been.
And feeling in his heart Il sweet content.
Fasting, but peaceful, Iiassan slept That night;
The blessings of the poor Ia heaven rise,
And, borne by angels clothed in holy light,
Enter the peary gates OF Paradise.
That night, once more. the Prophets form appeared
lie spoke to Hassan and he sweetly smiled,
"The blessings of ths poor the Lord has heard;
The Lord approves thee as His worthy child.
.And now he bids thee, as His steward, live
Live out thy destined heightened years below,
To thee his gracious hand will freely give,
And what he gives do thou AGAIN bestow."
Long wears in happiness old Hassan lived,
The poor PRAYED for INN, Allah heard their prayers
And. when life closed, he that pure joy received.
Which tor his faithful the Most High prepares.
