For A Charity Fair (In A Copy Of Minor Pieces)

Topics: classic

Some poor man in need     To bless and to feed,     I bring at its worth,     This day of my birth,     A book, - from my youth I must own.     But Who in His power     Gave bud and gave flower,     To bread can transform     In want's winter-storm     Each leaf that my Springtime has grown.
