When Fortune beams around you,
When hearts with pleasure leap;
And hopes and joys surround you —
Forget not those who weep! —
When friendship's smile invites you
To bless, and to be blest;
And every charm delights you —
Oh, think of the distrest!

When golden gales betide you
As if by Heaven decreed;
And plenty stands beside you —
Forget not those who need!
When Pleasure's cup seems endless,
Oh, prove it without end,
By being to the friendless
In every hour a friend!
