FORGET NOT THE UNHAPPY.
Forget not the unhappy
Amid the bright and gay,
The world can give you nothing
It will not take away;
Make much then of the moments
Ye never can renew,
And forget not the unhappy,
For, oh! their friends are few!
Amid the bright and gay,
The world can give you nothing
It will not take away;
Make much then of the moments
Ye never can renew,
And forget not the unhappy,
For, oh! their friends are few!
Their friends are few, and faintly
They whisper comfort now;
And offer scant assistance
With cold and cautious brow:
Each minute they are gazing
Upon their watch to go:
Oh! forget not the unhappy,
For kindness cometh slow!
They whisper comfort now;
And offer scant assistance
With cold and cautious brow:
Each minute they are gazing
Upon their watch to go:
Oh! forget not the unhappy,
For kindness cometh slow!

Forget not the unhappy,
Though sorrow may annoy,
There's something then for memory
Hereafter to enjoy!
Oh! still from Fortune's garland,
Some flowers for others strew;
And forget not the unhappy,
For, ah! their friends are few.
Though sorrow may annoy,
There's something then for memory
Hereafter to enjoy!
Oh! still from Fortune's garland,
Some flowers for others strew;
And forget not the unhappy,
For, ah! their friends are few.
