"l shall go softly all my years.
Thus said saddened king Of old.
When through the mstiness Of tears
He saw the grief his days must hold
And he went softy-al his days
Were days that glowed with genteness.
The paths Of peace his chosen ways.
In time his griefs he bless
There is an echo for each laugh
An echo from the who hear
But they have fellowship who quaf
brewed from tear.
The who knows Of sorrows weight
Is that alone:
The mystic brotherhood Of fate
Gives him a thousand friends unknown
He knows the grief that others feel
BY what is tugging at his heart;
OF all the blows that life may deal
others, he would bear his part,
Grief vondrous soenng;
beters every soul It sears;
Though touch king
He goes softly alb his years
cadence fills his songs;
A grasp is In his hand.
For. Of seeming bitter wrongs,
He at last understand
The heartbeats of his fellow men,
The cinsng of their hopes and fears
When grief brings her message then
He goes softly bis years.
