S2 E14 Go Give the World by Otto Leland Bohanan


I do not crave to have thee mine alone, dear

   Keeping thy charms within my jealous sight;

Go, give the world the blessing of thy beauty,

   That other hearts may share of my delight!


I do not ask, thy love should be mine only

   While others falter through the dreary night;

Go, kiss the tears from some wayfarer’s vision, 

   That other eyes may know the joy of light!


Where days are sad and skies are hung with darkness, 

   Go, send a smile that sunshine may be rife;

Go, give a song, a word of kindly greeting, 

   To ease the sorrow of some lonely life!
