Public Domain Poetry And Stories - Good Speech by Archibald Lampman Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
Think not, because thine inmost heart means well,
Thou hast the freedom of rude speech: sweet words
Are like the voices of returning birds
Filling the soul with summer, or a bell
That calls the weary and the sick to prayer.
Even as thy thought, so let thy speech be fair.
