Poem Reading
 Speak Gently
by David Bates

Speak gently! – It is better far

To rule by love, than fear –
Speak gently – let not harsh words mar
The good we might do here!
 Speak Gently
by David Bates

Speak gently! – Love doth whisper low

The vows that true hearts bind;
And gently Friendship's accents flow;
Affection's voice is kind.
 Speak Gently
by David Bates

Speak gently to the little child!

Its love be sure to gain;
Teach it in accents soft and mild: –
It may not long remain.
 Speak Gently
by David Bates

Speak gently to the young, for they

Will have enough to bear –
Pass through this life as best they may,
'T is full of anxious care!
 Speak Gently
by David Bates

Speak gently to the aged one,

Grieve not the care-worn heart;
The sands of life are nearly run,
Let such in peace depart!
 Speak Gently
by David Bates

Speak gently, kindly, to the poor;

Let no harsh tone be heard;
They have enough they must endure,
Without an unkind word!
 Speak Gently
by David Bates

Speak gently to the erring – know,

They may have toiled in vain;
Perchance unkindness made them so;
Oh, win them back again!
 Speak Gently
by David Bates

Speak gently! – He who gave his life

To bend man's stubborn will,
When elements were in fierce strife,
Said to them, 'Peace, be still.'
 Speak Gently
by David Bates

Speak gently! – 't is a little thing

Dropped in the heart's deep well;
The good, the joy, which it may bring,
Eternity shall tell.
