James Whitcomb Riley - John BrownJames Whitcomb Riley - John Brown
Work rating: Low


Writ in between the lines of his life-deed   We trace the sacred service of a heart   Answering the Divine command, in every part   Bearing on human weal: His love did feed   The loveless; and his gentle hands did lead   The blind, and lift the weak, and balm the smart   Of other wounds than rankled at the dart   In his own breast, that gloried thus to bleed.   He served the lowliest first--nay, them alone--   The most despised that e`er wreaked vain breath   In cries of suppliance in the reign whereat   Red Guilt sate squat upon her spattered throne.--   For these doomed there it was he went to death.   God! how the merest man loves one like that!
