Little Orphan Girl |
«No home, no home,» said a little girl |
At the door of a rich man’s home |
She trembling stood on the marble steps |
And leaned on the polished wall |
Her clothes were thin and her feet were bare |
And the snowflakes covered her head |
«Let me come in,» she feebly said |
«Please give me a little bread.» |
As the little girl still trembling stood |
Before that rich man’s door |
With a frowning face he scornfully said |
«No room, no bread for the poor.» |
Then the rich man went to his table so fine |
Where he and his family were fed |
And the orphan stood in the snow so deep |
As she cried for a piece of bread |
The rich man slept on his velvet couch |
And he dreamed of his silver and gold |
While the orphan lay in a bed of snow |
And murmured, «So cold, so cold.» |
The hours rolled on through the midnight storm |
Rolled on like a funeral bell |
The sleet came down in a blinding sheet |
And the drifting snow still fell |
When morning came the little girl |
Still lay at the rich man’s door |
But her soul had fled away to its home |
Where there’s room and there’s bread for the poor |
