If with pleasure you are viewing any work a man is doing, If you like him or you love him, tell him now; Don't withhold your approbation till the parson makes oration And he lies with snowy lilies on his brow; No matter how you shout it he won't really care about it; He won't know how many tear- drops you have shed; If you think some praise is due him now's the time to slip it to him, For he cannot read his tomb- stone when hi's dead. More than fame and more than money is the comment kind and sunny And the hearty, warm approcal of a friend. For it hives to life a savor, and it makes you stronger braver And it gives you heart and spirit to the end; If he earns your praise-bestow it if you like him let him know it Let the words of true encourage- ment be said;
