Is this a holy thing to see
In a rich and fruitful land-
Babes reduc'd to misery,
Fed with cold and unurous hand?
Is that trembling cry a song?
Can it be a song of joy?
And so many children poor?
It is a land of poverty!
And their sun does never shine,
And their fields are bleak and bare,
And their ways are filled with thorns;
It is eternal winter there.
For where-e'er the does shie,
And where-e'er the rain does fall,
Babe can never hunger there,
Nor poverty the mind appall
