Let It Pass.

Be not swift to take offense ; Let it pass ! Anger is a foe to sense ; Let it pass ! Brood not darkly o'er a wrong Which will disappear ere long : Rather sing this cheery song— Let it pass ! Let it pass !
Strife corrodes the purest mind ; Let it pass ! As the unregarded wind, Let it pass ! Any vulgar souls that live May condemn without reprieve ; 'Tis the noble who forgive, Let it pass ! Let it pass !
Echo not an angry word ; Let it pass ! Think how often you have erred ; Let it pass ! Since our joys must pass away, Like the dew-drops on the spray, Wherefore should our sorrows stay ? Let them pass ! Let them pass !
If for good you've taken ill, Let it pass ! Oh ! be kind and gentle still ; Let it pass ! Time at last makes all things straight ; Let us not resent, but wait. And our triumph shall be great ; Let it pass ! Let it pass !
Bid your anger to depart, Let it pass ! Lay these homely words to heart, "Let it pass !" Follow not the giddy throng ; Better to be wronged than wrong ; Therefore sing the cheery song— Let it pass ! Let it pass !
[All the Year Round.]
