A GENTLE WORD IS NEVER LOST.

A GENTLE word is never lost, Oh! never then refuse one; It cheers the heart when tempest-tossed, And lulls the cares that bruise one; It scatters sunshine o'er the way, And turns our thorns to roses; It changes weary night to day, And love and hope discloses.
A gentle word is never lost:— Thy fallen brothers need it; How easy and how small the cost— With peace and comfort speed it; Then drive the shadow from thy cheek, A smile can well replace it: Our voice is music when we speak With gentle words to grace it.
