C. M.

Scorn not the slightest word or deed.

Scorn not the slightest word or deed,

Nor deem it void of power;

There’s fruit in each wind-wafted seed,

That waits its natal hour.

2 A whispered word may touch the heart,

And call it back to life;

A look of love bid sin depart,

And still unholy strife.
