A fririlous word, sharp retoIt,

Where pilgrims uesd with weary iee'
Paths destined never more 10 meet.
A frlvilous word, sharp reiort.

Two lives are wrecked on Stormy shore
Where bllOws OF passion surge and Toar
TO break in a spray Of tears;
Tears shed to blind The severed pair
Drifting seawsrd and drowning there.
A fri,ilous word. a sharp retori,
A fa,h from passing cloud,
Two hearts are scsIhed 10 their utmost
core,
Are ashes and dus. for evermore.
Two faces turn 10 the crowd.
Masked by pride with lifelong lie,
To hide the scars of that agony.
A frivilous word, a sharp relori.
Alas that il should be so
The pelulaDt speech. the careless tongue
Have wrought more evil, and done more
wrong,
Have brough. TO the world ore woe
