those that saving need the most
are they less apt to seek it.

those who have much right to boast
are seldom wont to speak it.

those that have the least to say
most often raise their voices.


while those who truly know the way
leave others to their choices.

words a purpose serve at times
tho oft are merest tokens,
for things of life the most sublime
are surely those unspoken.

(thus quoth the poetess in rhyme
of words, - like promise broken.)
