That God had provided such friends in their need;

Their baskets were filled with biscuit and meat,

And warm shoes and stockings to cover their feet.

The Greenwood’s oft drew from their plentiful store,

And quietly sent to the poor widow’s door

Such things as she needed. Her proud heart was melted;

She welcomed their visits, and soon was contented

To let little Harry and Ella go where

They could hear of the Saviour, and his tender care,

And sweeter notes I never heard

Than she is warbling now;

I hope she will not fly away,
