THE GOLDEN RULE.

cqmTade when despair ,3 enwTapped wrap f6nsGS you
Wound afresh your soul, and leave you
Weaker where 1t stung?

Measure what your words may do
Arrows barbed by YOU

Warmly clasp your own and bring you
Courage at command!
Just touch-but by it's power
Took you not fresh wish TO live?
Measure, then by that sweet pressure
What your hand may give.

Don't feel that you possess the earth and all that
