KINDNESS

By Eliza H. Morton

The heart, the heart, oh, who can tell The secrets of the heart? Deep hidden woe may slumber there, Of human life a part.
Thy hand, perchance, can ease that woe, Thy voice sweet comfort bring, Thy finger guide the thirsty soul Where “living waters” spring.
O fellow-man! O mortal dust! Act well thy part below; Speak kindly words, do loving deeds, And seeds of mercy sow.
And thus thy name shall written be On fleshly tablets here, And far above, in “God’s own Book,” In glittering lines appear.
ELIZA H. MORTON.
