Religion
Try To Help Another
From Songs for All Seasons, and Other Poems (1901)
Religion
Try to help another whether friend or foe,
And the sweet soul-sunshine shall the brighter glow;
Try to help another fainting by the way,
Lo! the night of sorrow turneth into day.
Try to help another, be he small or great,
Try to help him onward ere it is too late;
Try to help him onward, try to help him up,
Add a heav’nly flavor to his bitter cup.
