IT'S wise 10 WOO, tits we'll to wed,
For so the world has done,
Since myrtles grew and roses oie"s
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, ye tung and fair!
Be sure you pledge with truth
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth.
For if you give not hesrt to heart
As we'll as hand for hand:
You'll find you We played the 'unwlse part,
And built upon the sand.
IT'S we'll to save, tits we'll to have
A goodly store Of gold:
And hold enough Of sterling stuff
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust,
Unmxed with purer things,
And he who piles up wealth alone,
Will often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest, and own
'Tis built upon the sand
IT'S good to speak in kindly guise.
And soothe when err we can;
For speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words,
Let deeds with language dwell
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand;
For those who talk, yet fail TO 10,
But build upon the sana.'
