Sympathy

That ugly pumpkin-coloured house That I saw from the train-- I have wondered about the minds of the people inside But I wonder in vain. Did they choose that paint? Or perhaps it was brought them to buy-- Oh I hope now they’ve got it all done that they like it-- And don’t just have to try. Oh I hope that it shines there for them In their sunny green fields Like a lantern at night-- And I hope that on dull rainy days they both say to each other “Don’t it look nice and bright?” Oh I think I shall never forget them In their new-painted house!

Sympathy

My joy leaps with your ecstasy, In sympathy divine; The smiles that wreathe upon your lips. Find sentinels on mine: Your lightest sigh I'm echoing, I tremble with your pain, And all your tears are falling In my heart like bitter rain.
InspiredGeorgia Douglas Johnson

Brotherhood

Come, brothers all! Shall we not wend The blind-way of our prison-world By sympathy entwined? Shall we not make The bleak way for each other's sake Less rugged and unkind? O let each throbbing heart repeat The faint note of another's beat To lift a chanson for the feet That stumble down life's checkered street.
