Sometimes I hear fine ladies sing,
Sometimes I smoke drink with men;
Sometimes I play at games of cards—
Judge me to be no strong man then.
The moment of my life
Is when I think about poor;
When, like a spring that rain has fed,
pity rises more and more.
The flower that loves warmth and light,
Has all its mornings bathed in dew;
My heart has moments wet with tears,
My weakness they are so few.
