<li>Summary of the poem Sympathy by Charles Mackay</li>
</ol>

Answer:- Once the poet was full of grief and very depressed. A rich and proud man heard about the poet’s problems and came to help him. The proud man offered him money but did not offer him any words of sympathy.

<pre class="wp-block-code"><code> When the poet recovered, he went back to the man and repaid all the gold. He also stood straight, offered the man thanks, and blessed him for this help. </code></pre>

<pre class="wp-block-code"><code> The poet was lying in sorrow and in pain. A poor man saw him and took care of him. He also offered him food to restore the poet’s health. He took great care of the poet until the poet regained his health. </code></pre>

<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>The poet wonders how to repay an act of selfless kindness. He realizes that having money to repay a debt is a great thing, but kindness is a heavenly act that cannot be easily repaid.
