Let us forget the little slights that pained us,

The greater wrongs that rankle sometimes yet;

The pride with which some lofty one disdained us

Let us forget.

Let us forget our brother’s fault and failing,

The yielding to temptation that beset,

That he perchance, tho grief be unavailing,

Can not forget.

But blessings manifold, past all deserving,

Kind words and helpful deeds, a countless throng,
