James Whitcomb Riley - Just To Be Good
Work rating: Low

Just to be good--
      This is enough--enough!
  O we who find sin`s billows wild and rough,
  Do we not feel how more than any gold
  Would be the blameless life we led of old
  While yet our lips knew but a mother`s kiss?
      Ah! though we miss
      All else but this,
        To be good is enough!

  It is enough--
      Enough--just to be good!
  To lift our hearts where they are understood;
  To let the thirst for worldly power and place
  Go unappeased; to smile back in God`s face
  With the glad lips our mothers used to kiss.
      Ah! though we miss
      All else but this,
        To be good is enough!
