When o’er the fair fame of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall; instead
Of words of blame, or proof of theirs and so
Let something good be said.Forget not that no fellow-being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his head:
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet
If something good be said.No generous heart may vainly turn aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorified
If something good be said.And so I charge ye, by the thorny crown
And by the cross on which the Savior bled,
And by your own souls’ hope of fair renown
Let something good be said.—James Whitcomb Riley
