Just One Word

WHAT can it matter in a little while That for a day We met and gave a word, a touch, a smile, Upon the way?
What will it matter whether hearts were brave And lives were true, That you gave me the sympathy I crave, As I gave you?
A human life? Are souls as lightly swayed as rushes are These trifles! Can it be they make or mar By love or strife?
Yea, yea! A look the fainting heart may break Or make it whole; And just one word, if said for love's sweet sake, May save a soul. — Anon.
