THE HUNGRY by CAROLINE GILTINAN

First Line: WHOM DOES HE LOVE THE MOST
Last Line: "WHO DIE UNSATISFIED."
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

Whom does He love the most—
The poor, the sick, the blind,
The rich, the maimed, the host
Unknowingly unkind?

The ones who strive, and fail;
The ones who have, and lose;
The ones who will not quail
Nor martyrdom refuse?

The wind went sobbing low
To His great Heart and cried;
"Dear God, they need you so,—
Who die unsatisfied."
