BE KIND TO EACH OTHER.
Be kind to each other!
The night's coming on!
When friend and when brother
Perchance may be gone.
Then 'midst our dejection,
How sweet to have earned
The blest recollection
Of kindness—returned!—
When day hath departed,
And Memory keeps
Her watch, broken hearted,
Where all she loved sleeps!
The night's coming on!
When friend and when brother
Perchance may be gone.
Then 'midst our dejection,
How sweet to have earned
16
Of kindness—returned!—
When day hath departed,
And Memory keeps
Her watch, broken hearted,
Where all she loved sleeps!
Let falsehood assail not,
Nor envy disprove,—
Let trifles prevail not
Against those ye love!—
Nor change with to-morrow
Should fortune take wing;
But the deeper the sorrow
The closer still cling!—
Oh, be kind to each other!—
The night's coming on,
When friend and when brother
Perchance may be gone.
Nor envy disprove,—
Let trifles prevail not
Against those ye love!—
Nor change with to-morrow
Should fortune take wing;
But the deeper the sorrow
The closer still cling!—
Oh, be kind to each other!—
The night's coming on,
When friend and when brother
Perchance may be gone.
