TRUE CHARITY.

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I GAVE a beggar from my little store Of well-earned gold. He spent the shining ore, And came again, and yet again, still cold And hungry as before. I gave a thought, and through that thought of mine He found himself, the man, supreme, divine. Fed, clothed, and crowned with blessings manifold; And now he begs no more.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
