Heart to Heart 1907.

You may talk, till you're dumb.
You may feel till you're numb -
And give, till your dollars are few;
You may weep till you're blind
For the woes of mankind
And thats all the good, it will do.

You may wrestle and pray
To find out a way
To pull an erring one through
But the string that you use
Will be hitched to your fuse
And thats all the good it will do.

Each one his pasture must keep
Each one his harvest must reap
For God made him _ him _ and you _ you.
But a hand clasp and smile
Will even Satan beguile
And here, is the good, you can do.

Eleanor Kirk.
