Poems

NOBILITY

From the December 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal


True worth is in being, not seeming,—
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good—not in dreaming
Of great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in their blindness,
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
