"Compassionate the mountains rise
Dim with the wistful dimness of old eyes
That, having looked on life time out of mind,
Know that the simple gift of being kind
Is greater than all the wisdom of the wise."

Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high”

Dim with the wistful dimness of old eyes

Is greater than all the wisdom of the wise."
