Was It You?
An old man limped along life's way,
His grief-bo,wed head was crowned

Somebody cheered his dreary day-,
I wonder ----Was it, you?
A lonely child, devoid of guile,
Looked up, and tears bedimmed its

Somebody stopped to play awhile.
I wonder---Viras it you?
There's always someone needing aid,
Some trembling heart alone, afraid,
Some load that could be lighter naade.
