"A CUP OF COLD WATER"

CHARLES C. SANDELIN

Come , brother, thirsting in a barren land,Drink from this flowing stream where now I drink;Turn not in sorrow, faint not, give thy hand,Pause not from pride upon the very brink;Drink, brother, drink, and on thy knees with joy,Pray ne'er again that earthly thirst annoy.

John Vance Cheney
