CHARLES DICKENS.

The carol of the poor he sung— The sick, imprisoned, suffering, vile. Found mighty champion in his tongue. Nor sinned beyond his tender smile. “O, faithful voice of Little Nell, O. holy thoughts of Tiny Tim! Ring ever in the Christmas bell. Inspire the universal hymn.” Oh. purity, and truth, and worth, Ono noble spirit sought you long; In bloom of deeds array tho earth. And keep his memory green in song.

CHARLES DICKENS.
