There are hearts that are sad and eye, that are

AS bright thine own in their SUMMER davs ;
Misfortunes may scatter thy present possessions
And plenty to poverty leave thee prey;
How bitterly then wilt thou think of the bless

That charity asks OF thy riches to-day
Remember the poor as they thankfully gather.
