Let alone my character's content
I shall lend my hands to all

Let alone the pain of the helpless child
Who takes a home to be the street
Let alone my being so mild
The situations are subject to perfectibility

Let alone my joy, my dream, my love
The light, that my heart so desires
Let alone your wish, or His above
Life will be all about you and I.
