  HE talked about the origin Of sin; But present sin, I must confess, But used to add, so people talk, His share unto the general stock— But grieved about the origin Of sin. He mourned about the origin Of sin; But never struggled very long To rout contemporaneous wrong, And never lost his sleep, they say, About the evils of to-day— But wept about the origin Of sin. He sighed about the origin Of sin; But showed no fear you could detect About its ultimate effect; He deemed it best to use no force, But let it run its natural course— But moaned about the origin Of sin. Samuel Walter Foss. |
