Beware, beware of careless words,
They have II fearful power,
And Jar upon the spirits chords,
Through many weary hour
Though not designed to give US pain,
Though hut at random spOkenj
Remembrance brings them back again
The past's most bitter token.
They haunt us through the toisome day,
And through the lonely night,
And rise to cloud the spirits ray,
When all beside is bright.
Though from the mind, and with the breath
Which gave them, they have flown,
Yet wormwOod, gall, and even death,
May dwell in every tone.
And burning tears cnn well attest
A sentence lightly framed
May linger, cankering, in the breast
At which it first was aimed.
Oh, could my prayer indeed be heard
Might the past live DER,
