Rescue the Perishing

WHAT if your own were starving, Fainting with famine-pain, And yet you knew Where golden grew Rich fruit and ripened grain? Would you hear their wail, As a thrice-told tale, And turn to your feast again?
What if your own were thirsting, And never a drop could gain, And you could tell Where a sparkling well Poured forth its cooling rain? Would you turn aside, While they gasped and died, And leave them to their pain?
What if your own were darkened, Without one cheering ray, And you alone Could show where shone The pure, sweet light of day? Would you leave them there In their dark despair, And sing on your sunlit way? — Selected.
