[Ah! keen the pang of friendless Woe]
Ah! keen the pang of friendless Woe,
When Want impels the falt'ring tongue
Its modest silence to forego,
And supplicate the passing throng!
When Want impels the falt'ring tongue
Its modest silence to forego,
And supplicate the passing throng!

Ah, keen the pang, if cold Neglect
Avert the inauspicious eye,
With seeming scorn the suit reject,
And check the sympathetic sigh!
Avert the inauspicious eye,
With seeming scorn the suit reject,
And check the sympathetic sigh!
