Show TAKE CARE OF YOUR WORDS. Do you know, little maid, when you open your mouth. That away to tho East,, to the West, North, and South, On the wings of the wind, just like bees or like birds, Fly the tone of your voice and the sound of words? t Do you know, little maid, that your mouth is the door. All the -words you will say, all you have said before, N Are imprisoned within? Some are sweet, pleasant words, Which, when they get out, will sing like tho birds. There are others so cross that they no one can please. And when they get out, will sing like the bees. . Watch them close, little maid, when cross words' stir about. Shut the door right up tight, and don't let them get out. |
