Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gentle Heart: A Second Series of Talking to the Children
The other day a friend brought me a song which was sung in Italy six hundred years ago. He Called it The Song of the Gentle Heart. It is a song in praise of gentleness in the life, and of gentle deeds and words and thoughts. And what the song says is, that all gentleness has its home in the heart; and that unless there be gentleness in the heart there can be none in the life.
At the time this song was sung, there were many who thought that gentleness could only be found in palaces and castles, and among the people who dress in splendid Clothes. But the song says that it may also be found in the most humble cot tages, and among people whose hands are rough with daily toil. It is the gentle heart which makes people gentle. Whether a home be rich or poor.
