Good Samaritan

By Mike Hall, May 11, 2019

‘If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain

If I can ease one life the aching

or cool one pain

Or help one fainting robin

unto its nest again,

I shall not live in vain

I shall not live in vain

Love seeketh not itself to please

nor for itself has any care;

but for another gives its ease

and makes a heaven of hell’s despair

If I can stop one heart from breaking

I shall not live in vain

If I can ease one life the aching

or cool one pain

Or help one fainting robin

unto its nest again

I shall not live in vain

I shall not live in vain.

 

Emily Dickinson
