And the same note rings o’er all earth’s cries,
For a kindly action never dies!
Keep sweet!
Guard your feet!
And you need not touch the mud of the street!’
Said the Broom to the Mat:
‘In the yard I’ve lived most all my life,
And with dust and dirt I’m aye at strife;
So I know ’tis true the tale you tell,
For have I not also learned it well?
