Speak Gently-Poem


This Beautiful Poem teach us how to talk with others this poem is written by an Anonymous i really i liked this poem also learn a lot from this beautiful poem let's begin it.


Speak gently; it is better far
     To rule by love than fear
Speak gently; let no harsh word mar
     The good we may do here.


Speak gently to little child;
     Its love be sure to gain;
Teach it in accent soft and mild,
     It may not long remain


Speak gently to the aged one;
    Grieve not the careworn heart
Whose sands of life are nearly run;
    let such in peach depart.


Speak gently; 'tis a little thing
   Dropped in the heart's deep well;
The good, the joy that it may bring
   Eternity shall tell
