Of some small blessings, have been kind to such

As needed kindness, for this single cause

That we have all of us one human heart.

Such pleasure is to one kind being known,

My neighbour, when with punctual care, each week

Duly as Friday comes, though press’d herself

By all her wants, she from her store of meal

Takes one unsparing handful for the scrip

Of this old mendicant, and from her door

Returning with exhilarated heart,
