Kindness.

Topics: classic

Kindness soothes the bitter anguish,     Kindness wipes the falling tear,     Kindness cheers us when we languish,     Kindness makes a friend more dear.     Kindness turns a pain to pleasure,     Kindness softens every woe,     Kindness is the greatest treasure,     That frail man enjoys below.     Then how can I, so frail a being,     Hope thy kindness to repay,     My great weakness plainly seeing,     Seeing plainer every day.     Oh, I never can repay thee!     That I but too plainly see;     But I trust thou wilt forgive me,     For the love I bear to thee.
