Truthfulness

Title:     Truthfulness
Author: J. C. Manning [More Titles by Manning]

Ne'er seek, by artful guise of words, to taint
The truth with falsehood's hue. Poor, trembling Truth!
Trust in her would be boundless, if our tongues
Uttered the coin as fashioned in the heart.
And then poor Heart would have no need to send
Her champion blushes to the cheeks to tell
The world how basely she had been traduced.

[The end]
J. C. Manning's poem: Truthfulness
