AN ARAB SAYING.

REMEMBER! three things come not back: The arrow sent upon its track— It will not swerve, it will not stay Its speed; it flies to wound or slay.
The spoken word so soon forgot By thee, but it has perished not; In other hearts ’tis living still, And doing work for good or ill;
And the lost opportunity, That cometh back no more to thee. In vain to weep, in vain to yearn— These three will nevermore return.
—Anon.
