From Humanity's Lost Link
Seeing a man in a dire state—
Miserable, lonely and ill,
Asked a stranger of kindly will:
You think I could be of help mate?
Oh sure if you so feel, my friend,
Come, hold awhile my helpless hand,
In moments that seem yon of mend,
All I need-- someone close to stand.
The stranger waited there a while
And later enquired how he felt:
‘Back from a barren soulless isle,
‘Never have I been better dealt.
‘And from humanity's lost link,
‘Returned have I as if from brink’.
