Question

The woman was old and ragged and grey
And bent with the chill of Winter's day,
The street was wet with the recent snow.
And the woman's feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing, and waited long
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
Of human beings who passed her by
Nor heeded the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street with laughter and shout
Glad in the freedom of school let out
Came the boys like a flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow, piled white and deep.
Past the woman so old and grey
Hastened the children on their way.
Nor offered a helping hand to her
So meek, so timid, afraid to stir
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses' feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
