LOVE'S WORD by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE

First Line: HE CAME UNTO A THROBBING MART
Last Line: A CITY'S HEART WAS STIRRED.
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE;
HE came unto a throbbing mart
And saw a soul in need;
His reason argued with his heart,
"Turn not this call to heed."

But ere he passed his pulsing way,
Love whispered soft this word —
"Turn thou about" — and on that day
A city's heart was stirred.
