LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR .
BY GEOKGE A . BAKER . " LOVE your neighbour as yourself , " So tho parson preaches ; " That's one-half of the
Decalogue—So the Prayer-book teaches . Half my duty I can do With but little labour , For with all my heart and soul I do love my neighbour .
Mighty little credit that To my self-denial ; Not to love her , though might be Something of a trial , Why , the rosy light that peeps Through the glass above her , Lingers round her lips ; you see E ' en the sunbeams love her .
So , to make my merit more , I'll go beyond the letter—Love my neighbour as myself ? Yes , and ten times better . For sb ' s sweeter than the breath Of the spring , that passes Through the fragrant , budding woods , O ' er the meadow grasses .
And I ' ve preached the word , I know , For it was my duty To convert the stubborn heart Of the little beauty . Once again success has crowned . Missionary labour , For her sweet eyes own that she Also loves her neighbour .
