Question

I lay in sorrow , in deep distress;

My grief a proud man heard;

His looks were cold, he gave me gold,

But not a kindly word.

My sorrows passed, I paid him back

The gold he gave to me;

Then stood erect and spoke my thanks;

And blessed his charity.

I lay in want, and grief and pain;

A poor man passed me by,

He bound my head, he gave me bread,

He watched me night and day.

How shall I pay him back again;

For all he did to me?

Oh, gold is great, but greater far,

Is heavenly sympathy.
