Explore "Listen!" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Whoever you are as you read this, / Whatever your trouble or grief, / I want you to know and to heed this, / The day draweth near with relief.
No sorrow, no woe, is unending; / Though heaven seems voiceless and dumb, / Remember your cry is ascending, / And an answer will certainly come.
Whatever temptation is near you, / Whose eyes on this simple verse fall, / Remember good angels will hear you, / And help you, so sure as you call.
Who stunned with despair, I beseech you, / Whatever your losses, your need, / Believe when these printed words reach you -- / Believe you were born to succeed.
