Teach My Song

Kind and Dear you are, and Brave and Strong.Life has taught you worth of smile and tear;Still your spirit's tenor flows alongKind and Dear.

Turn to me, on whom for many a yearFate has wrought its work of bitter wrong;(Scarce my veiled vision sees you clear!)

On your brow Is Peace, to you belongLife's best gifts, oh lend me Faith and Cheer!Show me Truth and Beauty, teach my song,Kind and Dear!
