To the Homeless Sufferers.

As sit alone by the fireside,
And list to the winds dreary moan,
think of the many that s suffering,
Without either shelter or home.
The homes once so bright and CHEEKY
Have been carried away by the food;
And the Island once marked for its beauty,
Is covered with debris and mud.
How oft the poor stricken-harted
Will turn with tear and Sigh,
And think of their darling loved ones,
Which meath the cold waters lie.
Our Father in Heaven. have pity,
And bind up the broken in heart;
Guide them safe to the Heavenly City,
From their loved ones neer TO part.
Then cast all your burdens upon Him,
For His love is boundless and free;
He has said tn all who trust Him:
My grace all sufficient shall be.
