The Cry of the Human

By May Cole Kuhn

MAY COLE KUHN
God make me tender toward my fellow men! The anguished heart, the agonizing cry, Speak to me, look at me, in every crowd, Along the street and in the market place,— The haughty, suffering proud, the meek, sad face; God make me tender toward my fellow men!
God make me kind unto my fellow men! The hungering soul, the longing spirit, bares Itself unto my own grieved, faultful life. God give me grace to feel for them in kind, To loose some aspiration, free some mind; God make me kind unto my fellow men!
God make me loving to my fellow men! Not only toward the lovable and good, But toward the poor, and pitiable, and weak, Who grope but darkly in their daily walk,— God help them, and forgive! Let me some life-word speak; God make me loving toward my fellow men!
