I'VE BEEN THINKING.
I've been thinking, I've been thinking,
What glorious world were this,
Did folks mind their own business more,
And mind their neighbors' less.
For instance, you and l, lny friond,
Are sadly prone to talk
Of matters that concern US not,
And others follies mock.
I've been thinking, now, if we'd begin
70 mind our own affairs,
That possibly our neighbors might
Contrive to manage theirs.
We've faults enough at home to mend
- 1t may be true of others,
1t would be strange if it were not,
Since all mankind are brothers.
would that we had charity
For every man and woman
Forgiveness is the mark of those
Who know "te err is human"
Then let Us Danish jealousy,
Let S lift our fallen brother,
And as we journey down lite's road.
Do good to one another.
