Speak gently to thy father,
For he is aged now,
The frost of many Winters
Have fallen OH his brow.
Soon. soon above his sleeping dust
The willow tree will wave;
Then try by gentle words to smooth
His pathway to the grave.
Speak gently to thy mother,
Twas she who gave thee birth;
She watched o'er thee in infancy,
And guarded the in youth,
She, too, will soon be called away
To better home above
Speak gently to thy mother
The words of deepest lovo.
Speak gently to thy sister,
Thee she doth fondly love,
Then never let an unkind word
Her gentle spirit move.
Uphold her as she roams along
Through life's oft weary day,
And should she weep, with friendly hand
Wipe those tears away.
Speak gently to thy brother,
Whate'er his lot may be,
And do thou his shortcomings scan
With heartfelt charity
When tears of grief bedim his eye,
Then be thou by his side,
II he be Joy, join in his mirth-
IL rude why gently chide.
Speak gently to thy fellow-man,
OF high or lowly birth;
Speak gently to him il he's poor
Or rich in things of earth.
Speak gently thou to every one,
Kind words will cost thee nothing,
And every one will prove star
In the crown of thy rejoicing.
