words OF the poet are true and very ap-
propriate under such occasions as the
above:
when things are going crooked and
Feller's feeling blue.
An the clouds hang dark and heavy
And wont let the sunlight through.

A hand upon your shoulder.
In a friendly sort o'way.'

You can't look UP into his eyes
You don't know what to say
When a hand is on your shoulder
In friendly sort o way.

With its honey and its gall
With it's trials and bitter crosses
