1. Oh many a petitioner of a need unsatisfied
While another has it fulfilled as he sits!

2. This one goes disappointed though it is fulfilled for another,
And comes fulfilled to him who had despaired of it.

3. Whenever I am sent to accomplish someone's need,
I am excellent at getting it done.

4. And my usefulness is as great to the wealthy
As the brokerage of the bankrupt and insolvent.
