There was an old owl
who sat in an oak,
The more he heard,
The less he spoke
The less he spoke
The more he heard
Why don’t we all act like
That wise old bird

   A Fragment
And all the bars at which we fret,
Which seem to prison and control,
Are but the doors of daring set
Ajar before our inner soul.

Oft in the Stilly night
Ere slumber’s Chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light,
Of other day around me.
The smiles, the tears of boyhood’s years,
The words of love then spoken,
The eyes that shone, now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts unbroken.
Thus in the stilly night,
Ere slumbers chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light
Of other days around me.

How easily right the wrong
If nobody shirked and each one worked
To help his neighbour along

If you have sunshine in your heart,
Don’t keep it – pass it round.
To those who need it give a push,
Don’t keep it – pass it round.
It wasn’t made alone for you!
Its yours of course, but still its true,
Its meant for other people too,
Don’t keep it – pass it round
