Nobody Really Cares.
If you've anything to grieve you, And fill jour heart with (ears, If Poverty bides near you, And your days are dimmed with tears, If yoa find with soal despairing No answer to your prayers, D m't s&y a word about it, for Nobody really cares. If health and strength forsake yoa, And pain and sickness bring A gloom that clouds the sunshine And shadows everything, If you feel that lot so weary But Beldom mortal bears, Don't say a word about it, for Nobody really cares. This world is fond of pleasure, And, take it at its beßt, 'Tia sadly bored unless you Meet it with smile and jest ; It yawns o'er Want's complainings, At Sorrow eoLJly stares, So never tell your troubles, for Nobody really cares. —Harjier't Weekly.
