INFLUENCE, by BELLE BEARDEN BARRY First Line: Should there come into your mind Last Line: Take it out in doing! | |||
Should there come into your mind Just a little thought unkind, Let not thought evolve to word, Let not word to deed be stirred -- Take it out in thinking! Should there come into your heart A thought that may some love impart, Hold that thought and let it grow -- Into a word the world may know -- Take it out in speaking! Should there come into your soul A thought and word of good control, Evolve them into deeds of love And help the world to forward move -- Take it out in doing! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEDICATION TO THE LATER SONNETS TO URANIA by GEORGE SANTAYANA FAITH AND DESPONDENCY by EMILY JANE BRONTE THE QUANGLE WANGLE'S HAT by EDWARD LEAR THE HAUNTED PALACE by EDGAR ALLAN POE EPODE: 2.
