KINDNESS by FREDERIC ROWLAND MARVIN

First Line: WHOSE EYE WITH MELTING PITY FLOWS
Last Line: AND WHAT THOU GIVEST SHALL BE THINE.
Subject(s): KINDNESS;

WHOSE eye with melting pity flows,
His life is like a summer rose;
But he whose ready hands are kind,
A father's is to love than weep,
And better far to work than sleep;
For human kindness is divine,
And what thou givest shall be thine.
