THE SOUTHERN COTTON OIL COMPANY SELMA, NORTH CAROLINA God Pity A Poor Prisoner By MRS. MAGGIE SMITH God pity a poor prisoner In a lonely cell all day; Whatever sin has tripped him, God pity still I pray. Only a glimpse of sunshine Through those walls of stone. Only a spark of azure To starve his hopes upon. Only a scorn for a woman. Only hate for men; Only remorse to whisper. Of a life that might have been. Once he was a little child, And his unstained feet Were led by a loving mother Toward that golden street. But in life’s deep forest They since have lost their way. For the sake of her who loved him, God pity him still I pray. Oh! Mother, at home in heaven. With earnest prayers I ask That your eyes may not Jje turned earthward. On the failure of your task. For in your fair mansion. The blinding tears would rise; Though the fairest hand in heaven Should wipe them from your eyes And you who judge them harshly. Are you sure the stumbling stone That trapped the feet of others, Might not have bruised your own? Are you sure the sad-faced Angel, Who writes all errors down. Will ascribe you more honor Than those on whom you frown? If a study in life’s purpose be given. Remember as you go— It was not your own endeavor That shaped your future so. Then laugh not at your -weakness That makes the brother fall; But remember the land that raises the fallen, God blesses the best of all.
