Thou Must Be True Thyself

Verse 1

Thou must be true thyself If thou the truth wouldst teach; Thy soul must overflow if thou Another’s soul wouldst reach: The overflow of heart it needs To give the lips full speech.

Verse 2

Think truly, and thy thoughts Shall the world’s famine feed; Speak truly, and each word of thine Shall be a fruitful seed; Live truly, and Thy life shall be A great and noble creed.
