    Who never ate his bread in sorrow,
    Who never spent the darksome hours
    Weeping, and watching for the morrow,--
    He knows ye not, ye gloomy Powers.
    [Ger., Wer nie sein Brod mit Thranen ass,
    Wer nicht die kummervollen Nachte
    Auf seinem Bette weinend sass,
    Der kennt euch nicht, ihr himmlischen Machte.]

And though to leave her far away behind;

I walked a mile with Pleasure,
She chattered all the way;
But left me none the wiser,
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow
And ne'er a word said she;
But, oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me!

Men die, but sorrow never dies;
The crowding years divide in vain,
And the wide world is knit with ties
Of common brotherhood in pain.
