To the editor of the _Item_, Lynn, Mass.
/ I hope the heart that's hungry / For things above the floor, / Will find within its portals / An item rich in store;
/ That melancholy mortals / Will count their mercies o'er, / And learn that Truth and wisdom / Have many items more;
/ That when a wrong is done us, / It stirs no thought of strife; / And Love becomes the substance, / As item, of our life;
/ That every ragged urchin, / With bare feet soiled or sore, / Share God's most tender mercies, -- / Find items at our door.
/ Then if we've done to others / Some good ne'er told before, / When angels shall repeat it, / 'Twill be an item more.
