• The only care That I shall share Shall be the care of others, And on the road I'll halve the load Of overburdened brothers. I rather guess It's selfishness That drives me to such actions, For in this plan I find I can Forget my own distractions.

    John Kendrick Bangs: The only care    That I shall share    Shall be the care of others,    And on the road    I'll halve the load    Of overburdened brothers. I rather guess    It's selfishness    That drives me to such actions,    For in this plan    I find I can    Forget my own distractions.
