KIND WORDS.

By Charles Swain

A LITTLE word in kindness spoken, A motion or a tear, Has often healed the heart that's broken, And made a friend sincere.
A word—a look—has crushed to earth Full many a budding flower, Which, had a smile but owned its birth, Would bless life's darkest hour.
Then deem it not an idle thing A pleasant word to speak; The face you wear, the thoughts you bring, A heart may heal, or break. —Charles Swain.
