A poem by Eliza Lee Cabot Follen

The Poor Man

________________________________________________
Title:     The Poor Man
Author: Eliza Lee Cabot Follen [More Titles by Follen]

The poor man is old,
He is hungry and cold,
Let us give him some bread to eat;
Let him come to the fire,
Let us build it up higher,
Let us give the poor man a warm seat.

The poor man is weak;
How pale is his cheek!
Perhaps he has met with some sorrow;
Let us give him a bed,
Where his poor weary head
May rest, and feel better to-morrow.








[The end]
