VERY TOUCHING.
It was only a newspaper story, And yet as I read it o'er, My eyes grew moist and heavy As they have not for years before. It was not the art of the writer That on my heart strings swept, But the stoty simple and tender, Went to my heart, and I wept. But when I arrived at the ‘ finis,’ It caused my heart to ache, And I spoke strong words, for that tender tale Was a patent medicine * fake.’
