80 LEXICON OF 
And help to make the burden light 
So heavy on them laid ; 
Such lowly acts of charity 
In Heaven shall be repaid. 
The mourner and the invalid 
Need words of friendly cheer ; 
And there’s a balm we all may give,— 
The sympathetic tear. 
Oh, cherish gentle charity, 
Within thy inmost soul. 
It adds to every other charm, 
And beautifies the whole.
