A pleasant warmth envelops me
Going right through, to my heart
It fills my soul and body too
Going deep to every part.
Entranced I stare, and stare, and stare
The scene that meets my eye
It seems to tear from my very heart springs
A loud and appreciative cry
Oblivious am I to the whole wide world
And all that is happening now
My senses seem to be stolen away
And yet I know not when or how
Has ever anything of the like been seen
I seem to question myself
Can man notice these sweet sights too
While he’s immersed in power and pelf?
Can all be drawn by the magnetic scene
As I have been, and likewise
Try to forget the harsh reality
Depicted now before their eyes
No, for until poverty exists
We cannot hope to see
Pleasant, lively everyday sights
And just be drowned in non-stop glee
Our care should be given to those
Who have been denied too much in life
To those who have constantly spent
Their waking hours in painful strife
So let us try to achieve this goal
And do all that we can
In bringing about the very uplift
And emancipation of woman and man
