JUDGE NOT BY THE OUTWARD LOOK !
by; Fannie Green BORLAND (1848AR-1879TN)
Never judge by the outward look,
God only knows what hides within;
Lips may smile yet the heart scarce brook,
Its heavy load of grief or sin.
Never judge by the mice that's glad,
Nor the eyes bright glowing glare;
The heart may heat to measures sad,
While trip the feet in every dance.
I have stood at the feasting throng,
And there seen winning beauty's smile --
Heard her ay laugh, yet knew how long
Her heart had broke, with mith or gule.
I've seen the good, the brave, strong man,
With brilliant eyes that sought no rest --
And smiling lip, while sorrow ran
Desperate through his stricken breast.
So judge not by the outward look;
Distress, deep,conceals them there,
By aid of all on earth foolsook,
Save the faith in ernest Prayer.
