Edgar Guest - If You And IEdgar Guest - If You And I
Work rating: Low


IF you would smile a little more And I would kinder be, If you would stop to think before You speak of faults you see. If I would show more patience, too, With all with whom I`m hurled, Then I would help and so would you To make a better world. If you would cheer your neighbor more And I`d encourage mine, If you would linger at his door To say his work is fine,  And I would stop to help him when His lips in frowns are curled, Both you and I`d be helping then To make a better world. But just as long as you keep still And plod your selfish way, And I rush on, and heedless kill The kind words I could say; While you and I refuse to smile And keep our gay flags furled, Someone will grumble all the while That it`s a gloomy world.
