First Line: Sometimes I hear fine ladies sing

Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Sympathy; Empathy
SOMETIMES I hear fine ladies sing,
Sometimes I smoke and drink with men;
Sometimes I play at games of cards --
Judge me to be no strong man then.
The strongest moment of my life
Is when I think about the poor;
When, like a spring that rain has fed,
My pity rises more and more.
The flower that loves the warmth and light
Has all its mornings bathed in dew;
My heart has moments wet with tears,
My weakness is they are so few.
