1 Tell it not with heedless scorning
If your neighbor does a wrong;
Go to him with yearning sorrow,
Breathe it not amid the throng.
Refrain:
And the light you lend his pathway
May come back to bless your own;
For we know, beyond all doubting,
We shall reap as we have sown.
2 You may aid him by your counsel,
Give him strength to nobler do;
Help him as you’d help another
Come in kindness unto you. [Refrain]
3 If his way is dark with trial,
If there’s blight you never knew,
Let the manly heart within you
Prompt to something brave and true. [Refrain]
4 Stand beside him while the shadow
Shifts him from his olden place;
Shield him from the wily tempter
That has brought the deep disgrace. [Refrain]
