Good Speech

Title:     Good Speech
Author: Archibald Lampman [More Titles by Lampman]

Think not, because thine inmost heart means well,
Thou hast the freedom of rude speech: sweet words
Are like the voices of returning birds
Filling the soul with summer, or a bell
That calls the weary and the sick to prayer.
Even as thy thought, so let thy speech be fair.

[The end]
Archibald Lampman's poem: Good Speech
