Bisbee daily review., 1908-05-13

Oh. doieful was my heart to-day As I came plodding down the way The world a cold and heartiess has, Was holding back her bone and rag! Depressed and meiancholy's core, I paused beside an open door.
 My moody eyes took in the view And met woman coming through. Decrepit, old and torn and gray, She staggered out upon her way. Upon her weak and rounded back She held unsteadily a sack
 The gift or charity and slar
 The grudging agent gave to her. And as she passed me, swaying by, caught the pleading in her eye The dumb appeal that hunters meet With stricken rabbits at their feet. And in the throng's unbaffied rage Unkempt and foul and torn with age. She tottered on beneath her load To squalor and her foul abode.
 And I, oh, ingrate, signing none, oped the doodgates wide to HoPEi threw the portals wide to TRUTH And thanked my God for LOVE and
 YOUTH
 For STRENGTH and HEALTH and
 WILL TO DO
 And TRIUMPH ere the fight Ia
 through.
