Truly
Thou must be true thyself,
If thou the truth would'st teach;
Thy soul must overflow, if thou
Another soul would'st reach;
It needs the overflowing heart
To give the lips full speech.
Think truly, and thy thought
Shall the world's famine feed;
Speak truly, and thy word
Shall be a fruitful seed;
Live truly, and thy life shall be
A grand and noble creed.
