Help In Need.
A poor man's horse it ran away, Soon man upon the roadside lay, With his leg all badly broken, Of sympathy some gave token. One said your trouble grieves my heart, But with his money would not part, Another said, while heaving sighs, It brings the tears into mine eyes. But a good true hearted man, His heart with kindness it o'er ran, The poorest man among the three, A pound he did contribute free. Others gave in empty feeling, But this poor man he did bring healing, The giver only Lord doth prize, Who helps afflicted for to rise.
