BE Kind
BE Kind to On; father, for when thou vast young,
Who loved thee So fouily as he
He caught the first accents that tell from thy tongue
And Joined in thy innocent glees
Be kind to thy father; for now he Is old,
His locks interminged with gray;
His footsteps are feeble, once fearless and bold
Thy father is passing away,
Be kind to thy mothers or 10 J on her brow
May traces OF SORROW be seen;
Oh well mayst thou cherish and comfort her now,
For loving and kind has she been.
Remember thy mother, for thee she viii pray
As long as God giveth her breath
With accents of Kindness then, cheer her lone way,
Fen to the dark valley OF death
BE kind to thy brother bis heart will have dearh,
1.-THE smile. of thy Joy be Withdrawn
Tie flowers OF feeling will fade at their birth,
1.-THE dew of affection be gone
Be kind to your brother, whoever you are
the love of brother shall be
An ornament purer and richer by far
Than pearls from the depth of the sea.
Be kind to thy sister not many may know
The depth Of true sistcrly love;
The wealth ofthe ocean lies fstboms below
The surface that sparkles above.
Thy Kindness shall bring TO thee many sweet hours,
And blessings thy pathway to crowns;
Affection shall weave thee garland OF howers,
Moro pleasant than wealth or rcnown.
