IF WE ONLY KNEW.

There are gems of wondrous brightness Ol'ttiroes lying at our f< et. And we pass them, walking thoughtless Down the busy, crowded street; 1:' wo knew, our pace would slacken — We would step more oft with care, l.i. ;t cur careless feet be treading To the earth some jewel rate.

if we knew what heart-: are aching For the cornfoit wc niighl bring; If vvc knew what souis arc yearning For the r.nshine we might Hing: If we knew what feet are weary Wa : k'n"g pathway;; roughly laid. We would quickly hasten forward. Stretching forth our hands to aid

If wo know what friends around us Feel a, want they n: ver to'l • That some word that we have Fpnkrvi i'ained or wqur.ded where ;t tell: \V" would speak in aor outs tender To each friend wo chanced to meet ■ We would sive 10 each one freely S'; of sympathy fc<> sweet.
