Can I see another's woe, / And not be in sorrow too?

Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow, too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?

Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?

Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.

Seek Love in the pity of others' woe,In the gentle relief of another's care,In the darkness of night and the winter's snow,In the naked and outcast, seek Love there!

The busy bee has no time for sorrow.
