About the poem :- Sympathy is a quality of God. We should
not be indifferent towards the sufferings of other people. Money is great but
far greater than money is sympathy . If somebody helps us with money, we can
pay back his money is due course. But The service done to us in sympathy cannot
be paid back.
I lay in sorrow, deep distresses;
My grief a proud man heard;
His looks were cold, he gave me gold,
But not a kindly word.
My
sorrow passed-I paid him back
The
gold he gave to me;
Then
stood erect and spoke my thanks
And
blessed his charity.
A lay in want, and grief and pain;
A poor man passed my way;
He bound my head, he gave me bread,
He watched me night and day.
How
shall I pay him back again
For
all he did to me ?
Oh,
gold is great, but greater far
is
heavenly sympathy.
