Show SO ESY So easy to say what, another should do, So easy to retile his cares; Go easy to tell him what road to pur. . sue, Mid dispose of the burdens he bears It is easy to bid him be brave and be strong, And to make all his short-.coniinga known;. But oh. Its so hard when the cares and the wrong And the dangers we fare are our own. It is easy to stand in another man's place, v nen our comiorts or lite are assured, as-sured, And the sting of the rain beating sharp in his face By him must be bravely endured It is easy to tell him the path he should take. And to bid him to laugh at his cares But oh, its so hard when It's our hearts that ache And we have the burdens to bear. We all know the things that another should do Ills faults are like books on our shelves, We can ponder them over and read and review, But we can't, have a look on ourselves. our-selves. We can settle the other man's troubles trou-bles each day. His griefs we ran calmly discuss, It Is easy to sweep all his trouble away, But we can't do the same thing for us. The need of another it's easy to see, When our own wants are all satisfied satis-fied And bold and courageous it's easy to be When it isn't our souls that are tried. Tint, oh, so hard when we're stumbling stumb-ling along To keep ourselves steadfast and true It is easy to tell someone elno to be si rong, It's easier to talk than to do. EDGAR A. GUEST. |
