Read the following poem carefully, answer the following questions by choosing the most appropriate options:

I lay in sorrow, in deep distress;

My grief a proud man heard;

His looks were cold, he gave me gold,

But not a kindly word

My sorrow passed – I paid him back

The gold he gave to me;

Then stood erect and spoke my thanks

And blessed his charity.

I lay in want, and grief and pain;

A poor man passed my way,

He bound my head, he gave me bread,

He watched me night and day.

How shall I pay him back again?

For all, he did to me?

Oh, gold is great but greater far

Is heavenly sympathy.
