seNEMgNA sEMZAMEAs
, RE- GENTLE WITH THY WIFE.

Be gentle, for ye little know
How many trials rise;
Although to thee they may be small,
To her of giant size.
Be gentle! though perchance that lip
May speak a murmuring tone,
The heart may beat with kindness yet,
And joy to be thine own.
Be gentle! weary hours of pain
IT'S woman's lot to bear;
Then yield her what support thou canst,
And all her sorrows share.
Be gentle! for the noblest hearts
At times may have some grief,
And even in a pettish word
May seek to find relief.
Be gentle! for unkindness now
May Il an angry storm
That all the after years of life
In vain may strive to calm.
Be gentle! none are perfect
Thou'rt dearer far than life.
Then husband bear and still forbear--
Be gentle to thy wife.
