(William B. Gray)
At the old concert hall on
the Bowery,
'Round a table were seated one night,
A crowd of young fellows
carousing
With them life seemed cheerful and bright.
At the very next table was
seated
A girl who had fallen to shame,
All the young fellows jeered at her
weakness,
Till they heard an old woman explain:
cho: She is more to be
pitied than censured,
She is more to be helped than despised.
She is only a
lassie who ventured
On life's stormy path, ill-advised;
Do not scorn her with
words fierce and bitter
Do not laugh at her shame and downfall.
For a moment,
just stop and consider
That a man was the cause of it all.
There's an
old-fashioned church 'round the corner
Where the neighbors all gathered one day,
While the
parson was preaching a sermon
O'ere a soul that had just passed away;
'Twas this same
wayward girl from the Bow'ry
Who a life of adventure had led.
Did the clergyman jeer at
her downfall?
No! He asked for God's mercy, and said:
