…….Thou Must Be True
Thou must be true thyself,
…If thou the truth wouldst teach!
Thy soul must overflow, if thou
…Another’s soul wouldst reach;
It needs the overflow of heart
…To give the lips full speech.
Think truly, and thy thoughts
…Shall the world’s famine feed;
Speak truly, and each word of thine
…Shall be a fruitful seed;
Live truly, and thy life shall be
…A great and noble creed.
The Bard on the Hill
