Explore "My Poor Relation" by C.J. Dennis on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I have a poor relation, but / He never troubles me. / He's bowed with care; he wears an air / Of abject misery. / Yet, I am happy to relate, / He never is importunate.
I meet him often in the street; / Sometimes he speaks to me; / I know, indeed, he is in need - / That's very plain to see. / Yet, tho' he is in want, I own / He never asks me for a loan.
