angry WOK I*’ 1 *’ spoken, Angry words aftfoughiless hour j In a rash Xof life are broken insidious power; Bffc inspired by warmest feeling, ’Were before by anger stirred, Oft are sent past human healing By a single angry word.
Poison-drops of care and sorrow, Bitter poison-drops are they, Weaving for the coining morrow Saddest memories of to-day ; Angry words, oh! let them never From thy tongue unbridled slip ; May tho heart’s best impulse ever Check them ere they soil the lip.
Love is much too pure and holy, Friendship is too sacred far, For a moment’s reckless folly Thus to desolate and mar. Angry words are lightly spoken, Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirred, Brightest links of life are broken By a single angry word. T. H. A.
