Unto One of the Least of These

By Delwin Rees Buckner

A BEGGAR knocked to ask a crust of bread When thou wast sitting at the evening feast. The night was gathering within the east; The sun was setting in a glow of red. The dress he wore was spotted, tattered, torn, And in his cheeks were Hunger's deep-cut lines. Yet, man, if thou wert able to divine, Thou might'st have known that he was noble-born. Yea, all of this he might have been, and more, As sad, so sorrowful, so slender, thin, With pleading, plaintive voice and tearful eyes, He mutely stood before thy open door. O, friend, didst thou refuse to ask him in? He may have been God's angel in disguise.
