TO EMILIE BIGELOW HAPGOOD - PHILANTHROPIST by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: FAR FROM THE SERIED RANKS YOU SWAY
Last Line: AND LIFT TO HOPE A TOKEN!
Subject(s): CHARITY; HAPGOOD, EMILIE BIGELOW; PHILANTHROPY;

Far from the seried ranks you sway,
Firm in your own believing
In that frail brotherhood, who stray
Sore anguishing, sore grieving.
Such hands as yours, adown the years
Enchain a faith unbroken,
They stay the dreary waste of tears,
And lift to Hope a token!
