THE REAL POOR.
I am that man,
With silver and gold,
Adorned in beauty,
My lot seems bright,
My heart is glowing,
I make merry with Kings,
With wealth untold,
I am that man,
My storehouse is full,
Running over with plenty.

If I have no charity,
I have nothing,
If I have no love,
I have nothing,
If I have no kindness,
I have nothing,
Though I have all the wealth,
If I attend not the needs of Mankind,
I have nothing,

I am that man,
Silver nor gold,
I have none,
I have little store,
My tent is pitched,
Among the poor,
I am that man,
My lot is little,
I have no plenty.

If I have charity,
I have something,
If I have love,
I have something,
If I have kindness,
I have something,
Though I am poor,
If I attend the needs of Mankind,
I have something.
