Vagrants In Anguish

 

Homeless Family.

In anguish they roam

In streets without home;

They beg to survive,

And endure the strive

They grapple with fears

That reveal their tears;

In dismay they mope,

They barely can cope

In summer and rain,

They know only pain;

We call them poor wights,

But defy their plights

From their feet to their crowns

With its scorch the sun frowns;

And all days do they plead

Heaven helps them in need

Their dreams are now cold,

Their strengths have grown old;

In anguish they roam

In streets without home

Dusk finds them worn out

From roving about;

In sadness they wait

While censuring fate

Homeless wight.

  They beg to survive

And endure the strive;

We call them poor wights

But defy their plights.

Vagrants in anguish

With only one wish:

That ’morrow may bring

Their lips a new song to sing
