Excerpt from Lays From Maoriland: Being Songs and Poems, Scottish and EnglishHad I the poet's all-persuasive art, And Music's magic numbers at command, 'twould need them all to paint thy tender heart, And show how pity still directs thy hand.For every tale of woe thou hast a tear, All the unhappy find in thee a friend And even the guilty may suppress their fears, And on thy gentle clemency depend.How oft I've seen thee bending o'er some couch, While words of pity issued from thy tongue, And then some gift came stealing from thy pouch, To show how much his woe thy bosom wrung.Nor gifts alone, but cheerful service given, As if such acts entailed no sacrifice, But were the work appointed thee of Heaven, As stepping-stones by which the lost may rise.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
