„Abide with Me"
Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide:
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its gliries pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou, who changest not, abide with me.
Montgomery Lucy Maud 1874-1942

Honest Englishmen.

Though it's dull at whiles,
Helping, when we meet them,
Lame dogs over stiles.

My mother groaned! my father wept.
Into the dangerous world I leapt:
Helpless, naked, piping loud;
Like a fiend hid in a cloud.
