KINDNESS
KINDNESS.
ONE single word of heartfelt kindness, Oft is worth a mine of gold,—Yet how oft, we, in our blindness, The most precious wealth withhold.
Like soft dews on thirsting flowers, It revives the drooping heart;And its magical blest showers Is the soul's best healing art.
Oh! however sad and lonely Life's dark, sterile path may be,One, one single kind word only Causeth all its gloom to flee.
