Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thoughts Fancies: Poems and Occasional Verses
A wise word falls on Folly's ear, SO aptly Clear It wakes at last a better sense, And may have life-long consequence Who can tell?
A kind deed brings to one in grief Benign relief; Makes strong the bruised heart to bear' Prevents, perchance, a soul's despair Who can tell?
The in?uence Of a loving life Made sweetly rife With gracious aims and promptings good May leaven some vile neighbourhood Who can tell?
The message of the poet's song, Or teacher's tongue, Though scorned perhaps when uttered, Wake fruitful thoughts some after-day Who can tell?
