Text: If I can stop one heart from breaking,I shall not live in vain;If I can ease one life the aching,Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robinUnto his nest again,I shall not live in vain. If I can keep the river flowing,I shall not live in vain;If I can plant a tree (or two, or three)And bring the rain Or sow the seeds that handsWill harvest as autumn grainI shall not live in vain. If I can care for those who need me,and listen when they call;If I can lend a hand to others,help them stand tall, And lift a voice for freedom,justice and peace for all,We’ll build a bridge, a human bridgeand so take down a wall. Emily Dickinson, F. 982  (v. 1, 2)David Evan Thomas (additional verses)
