Pity the Poor.

Pity. oh. pity the suffering poor.
Wandering homeless from door unto door.
Trudging through storms and fast falling snow,
Emblems Of God in their desperate woe.
Open your heart and your hand to the weak
And give from your store what they longingly
seek;
Pity these pilgrims who tramp through the snow,
Hungry, half-naked, wherever they go.
Look through your windows OF glory and wealth.
With honor and loved ones, bright blooming
health:
Then see the contrast Of those who feel Woe,
Shelterless shivering out in the snow.
Give Of your gold that the poor may be fed.
Lodging tonight for their bruised. weary head;
Deny not to them free loaf OF bread
Ere they depart for the peace of the dead
