Question

Read the following poem and answer the questions that follows. [4]

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 sorrow 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 my way

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.
