Words

KATHERINE R. FRANCKE

Words, words, words; multiplicity of words and nothing said: In vain we strive to voice the woes o'er which our hearts have bled,

Or paint the scenes of beauty on which our eyes have fed. Words, words, words; multiplicity of words, and nothing said. Set thou a watch, O Lord, before my lips and silence strife; Fill thou my mouth with words that speak but Love and Truth and Life.
