THE HEART'S POWER.
"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he."
What forces are pent in the hearts we meet,
That pass us by on the crowded street;
So many in number, and many in kind,
Each one ruled by a different mind.
That pass us by on the crowded street;
So many in number, and many in kind,
Each one ruled by a different mind.
Hearts that are warm, and hearts that are cold,
Hearts that are timid, and hearts that are bold;
Hearts that are laden with grief and care,
Hearts that are joyous and light as air.
Hearts that are timid, and hearts that are bold;
Hearts that are laden with grief and care,
Hearts that are joyous and light as air.
Hearts that are pure from the stain of wrong,
Hearts that are tender and true and strong;
And hearts, alas! that are false and weak.
Hearts of whose deeds we grieve to speak.
Hearts that are tender and true and strong;
And hearts, alas! that are false and weak.
Hearts of whose deeds we grieve to speak.
For every man plays a different part,
As good or evil rules his heart;
And the heart decides what the man shall be
Not only for time, but eternity.
As good or evil rules his heart;
And the heart decides what the man shall be
Not only for time, but eternity.
