BERANGER.

Listen in the reader

Cast adrift on this sphere Where my fellows were born, None gave me a tear, I was weakly—forlorn.

My plaint for their spurning To heaven took wing,— Sweet voices said, yearning, "Sing, Little One, sing!"

My lot, as I rove, Is to sing for the throng;— And will not they love The poor Child for his song?
