Who have our tenderest care,
The beautiful! the beautiful!
How sweet to trace it there!
’Twas in the glance that God threw o’er
The young created earth;
When He proclaimed it very good,
The beautiful had birth.
Then who shall say this world is dull,
And all to sadness given,
While yet there grows on every side,
The smile that came from heaven?
If so much loveliness is sent
To grace our earthly home,
How beautiful! how beautiful!
Will be the world to come.
DON’T KILL THE BIRDS
Don’t kill the birds! – the little birds,
That sing about your door,
Soon as the joyous spring has come,
And chilling storms are o’er.
The little birds! – how sweet they sing!
Oh! let them joyous live;
And do not seek to take the life
Which you can never give.
Don’t kill the birds! – the pretty birds,
That play among the trees!
’Twould make the earth a cheerless place,
Should we dispense with these.
Don’t kill the birds! – the happy birds,
That bless the field and grove;
So innocent to look upon, —
They claim our warmest love.
LITTLE ACTS OF KINDNESS
Little acts of kindness,
Trifling though they are,
How they serve to brighten
This dark world of care!
Little acts of kindness,
Oh, how potent they,
To dispel the shadows
Of life’s cloudy day.
Little acts of kindness,
How they cheer the heart!
What a world of gladness
Will a smile impart!
How a gentle accent
Calms the troubled soul,
When the waves of passion
O’er it wildly roll!
You may have around you
Sunshine, if you will,
Or a host of shadows,
Gloomy, – dreary, – chill.
If you want the sunshine,
Smile, though sad at heart;
To the poor and needy
Kindly aid impart.
To the soul-despairing
Breathe a hopeful word;
From your lips be only
Tones of kindness heard.
Ever give for anger,
Love and tenderness;
And, in blessing others.
You yourself will bless.
Little acts of kindness,
Nothing do they cost;
Yet when they are wanting,
Life’s best charm is lost.
Little acts of kindness,
Richest gems of earth;
Though they seem but trifles,
Priceless is their worth.

If wisdom’s ways you wisely seek,
Five things observe with care: —
To whom you speak, – of whom you speak, —
And how, – and when, – and where.
THE BLESSINGS
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
They the kingdom shall possess,
Rich in faith and heavenly blessings,
The beautiful! the beautiful!
How sweet to trace it there!
’Twas in the glance that God threw o’er
The young created earth;
When He proclaimed it very good,
The beautiful had birth.
Then who shall say this world is dull,
And all to sadness given,
While yet there grows on every side,
The smile that came from heaven?
If so much loveliness is sent
To grace our earthly home,
How beautiful! how beautiful!
Will be the world to come.
