One man gave lavlshly Of gold.
And builded tower and town:
Then smiled content to think his deeds
Should win him great renown.
Another, poor in worldly gain,
Gave all within his ken
or strength and tenderness and truth
To help his fellow-men.
The record Of the rich mans gifts
Lies on a dusty shelf.
The poor man lives in countless hearts
Because he gave himself.
