ANGEY ! W 0 E D S.
QJNGEY words are lightly spoken A In a rash and thoughtless hour Brightest links of life are broken
By their deep insidious power. Hearts Inspired by wannest feeling, Ne’er before by anger stirred. Oft are rent, past human healing, By a single angry word.
Poison-drops of care and sorrow. Bitter poison-drops are they, Weaving for the coming morrow Saddest memories of to-day. Angry words! oh, let ttem never Prom the tongue unbridled slip. May the heart’s best impulse ever Check, ere they soil the Up 1
Love is much too pure and holy, Priendship Is too sacred far, Por a moment’s reckless folly Thus to desolate and mar. Angry words are lightly spoken; Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirred; Brightest links of Ufe are broken By a single angry word.
