To Emilie Bigelow Hapgood⁠—Philanthropist

Far from the seried ranks you sway,

Firm in your own believing

In that frail brotherhood, who stray

Sore anguishing, sore grieving.

Such hands as yours, adown the years

Enchain a faith unbroken,

They stay the dreary waste of tears,

And lift to Hope a token!
