Signification . . Gracious, Merciful. 
Emblem .Elder. 
Sentiment .... Compassion. 
Oh let me dry the sad, sad tears, 
Which from thine eyes o’erflow, 
And strive by earnest, kindly deeds. 
To help thee hear thy woe. 
By sweet, consoling, friendly words, 
I’d cheer thy care-worn heart; 
For sympathy, if rightly given. 
Can happiness impart. 
But when thy bleeding heart shall find 
All human aid but vain, 
Know that the hand that gave the wound. 
Can make it well again.
