THE NIGHTINGALE OF THE SLUMS
Only a little song
Sang by a maiden sweet,
Sung to a ruftian throng
Down in yon SUNNY street
What single voice on earth"
The seraphim inquire,
'EXcels in power and worth
The church's gilded choir::'
Has one from heaven flown
Back to the realms of dust
To rescue all alone
Lost souls from flames of lnst?'
"A maiden modestly
Her pure heart rolls in song
Out DER life's wild, dark sea
And stills fierce gales ofawrong'
That drive lost human souls
Upon the rocks of death,
Which in delusiye shoals
Lie hiddenly beneath
IT'S thus the Prince of Peace
To seraphin replies
While they with puzzled grace,
Stand, listening in the skieS.'
