I learned this beautiful poem in grade 4. I have never forgotten the words.

I learnt this poem in school mid 1940, s so I haven't thought of it in years it was nice to discover it again.

Lovely Poem thank you

I remember this poem from when I was a very small child, unable to sleep, a lifelong problem, and my father used to try to amuse me. This poem was amongst others he taught me along with the alphabet and multiplication tables. Still love it and it's relevance to life now.

A little redundant, and, still, like a child's tale, important.

I wish to print this poem, Abou Ben Adam, in an anthology of peacemaking stories for a not for profit organization (unitastcinc.org) . Where do I get the permission to do so?

I learnt this poem when I was in secondary school and I presented it at our schools prize giving day with our parents invited! Our Irish teacher taught us many poems and a lot of Irish old songs too. I still sing them....! I am going to teach my grand children too!

Very relevant in today’s world. Do not pass by or look the other way. Respect and care for your fellow humans, regardless of race, colour or creed. Do not judge. It is such a beautiful poem and teaches us a lot in its simplicity.

This is so relevant to the age we live in. Love and respect your fellow man regardless of race, colour or creed. Do not pass by or turn away. Smile. Random acts of kindness work wonders. There is more good than bad in the world, and it is still a beautiful place.
