Let It Pass
Be not swift to take offense,
Let it pass!
Anger is a foe to sense,
Let it pass!
Brood not darkly o’er a wrong,
Which will disappear ere long;
Rather sing this cheery song,
Let it pass!
Echo not an angry word,
Let it pass!
Think how often you have erred,
Let it pass!
Since our joys must pass away.
Like the dewdrops on the spray,
Wherefore should our sorrow stay?
Let it pass!
If for good you suffer ill.
Let it pass!
O, be kind and gentle still,
Let it pass!
Time at last makes all things straight:
Let us not resent, but wait,
And our triumph shall be great:
Let it pass!
