BE GENTLE WITH THY WIFE.

BE GENTLE WITH THY WIFE.
Be gentle-for you 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 speak 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: none are perfect here
Thou'rt dearsr far than life;
Then husband bear, and still forbear-
