A barefooted child on the crossing	A
Sweeping the mud away	B
A lady in silks and diamonds	C
Proud of the vain display	B
A beggar blind on the curbstone	D
A rich man passing along	E
A tiny child with a tambourine	F
Wailing out her life in song	E
	-
A pauper in lone hearse passing	A
Hurried away to the tomb	G
A train of carriages music grand	H
And the flutter of waving plume	G
For the one there is never a mourner	I
He cumbered the earth alway	B
For the other the flags at half mast droop	J
And the city wears black today	B
	-
A soldier with one sleeve empty	K
That sadly hangs by his side	L
Another shuffling along the walk	M
In the flush of health and pride	L
A cripple girl slowly toiling	A
Through the vexed and crowded street	N
And tearfully gazing at those who pass	O
With hearts as light as their feet	N
	-
A wreck of a woman flaunting	A
As if proud of her very shame	P
A purer sister whose modest cheeks	Q
Would crimson e'en at the name	P
A petty thief stealing in terror	I
Afraid in your face to gaze	R
And one who has robbed by the thousands	C
Courting the sun's broad blaza	C
	-
The millionaire in his carriage	S
The workman plodding along	E
The humble follower of the right	T
And the slave of the giant wrong	E
The murderer seeking a refuge	U
Looking ever wearily back	V
And the sleuth hounds of the broken law	W
Following silently in his track	V
	-
The judge freed now of the ermine	X
Pompous of place and power	I
And the shivering wretch his word will doom	G
To prison within an hour	I
The miser clutching his pennies	C
The spendthrift squandering gold	Y
The meeked eyed Sister of Mercy	C
And the woman brazen and bold	Y
	-
The widow in weeds of blackness	C
Meets the bride at the church door	Z
The future for one holds nothing but tears	C
But joy for the other in store	Z
A cradle jostles a coffin	A2
Orange flowers with honeyed breath	B2
Are wove by the self same fingers	C
That but now made a cross for death	B2
	-
Dives and Lazarus elbow	C2
Each other whene'er they meet	N
And the crumbs from the rich man's table	D2
Feed the beggar upon the street	N
And penury crowdeth plenty	C
And sin stalks boldly abroad	E2
And the infidel holds his head proudly	C
As the child of the living God	F2
	-
The bee in its ceaseless searching	A
Finds sweets in each flower fair	G2
And the noisome spider creeping up	H2
Finds nothing but poison there	G2
And so life is made up of contrasts	C
Rich and poor coward and brave	I2
Virtue and vice and all will find	J2
Equality in the grave	I2
