Sympathy
Charles Mackay
About Charles Mackay
Charles Mackay (1814- 89) was a Scottish poet and songwriter. He wrote about values like happiness, sympathy and love-things that go to make exceptional human beings.
I lay in sorrow, deep depressed...
My grief a proud man heard...
His looks were cold. He gave me gold.
But not a kindly word.
My sorrow passed - I paid him back.
The gold he gave me.
Then stood erect and spoke my thanks
And blessed his charity...
I lay in want, in grief and pain.
A poor man passed my way.
He bound my head. He gave me bread.
He watched me night and day.
How shall I pay him back again
For all he did to me?
Oh! Gold is great. But greater far
Is heavenly sympathy!
