A SERMON IN RHYME.
When you see man who's down
Do not laugh or sheer or frown
Do not act the part OF clown.
Walk right up. say heres my hand,
Do not ike a dummy stand.
One small lift beats a command.
Say to him, Friend, be OF cheer,
You've brother standing here
And you've nothing now to fear.
IL he needs coat or meal,
Has an angry wound TO heal,
With his case in kindness deal.
Tell him he can rise again.
That his woes are on the wane,
And from cruel words abstain.
Do not have too much to say,
Do not sermoniZe or pray,
Lest he bid thee go thy way
It may be your lot, some time,
To require a meal or dime.
Kindness then will seem sublime.
DO not shun like half the town,
Do not kick, do not frown
When you see a man who's down.
