Poems (Coolidge)/A Sweet Song

​
A SWEET SONG
By thinking of others through all the day long, A workaday life we may turn into song, Whose rhythm hath power the pulses to thrill, With love to the Father our brethren instil.
​
By saying kind words 'tis a song of good cheer, The weary may list till he drieth the tear. His hope live anew in its gladsome refrain, While a courage newborn will banish the pain.
By doing for others the melody swells; The music of heaven it, joyous, foretells; For burthens grow light and the faith true and strong Whenever one hearkens to such a sweet song.
