A SERMON

I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day.

I’d rather one should walk with me than merely show the way.

The eye’s a better pupil, and more willing than the ear;

Fine counsel is confusing, but example is always clear.

So I’d rather get my lesson by observing what you do;

It is not enough to preach it; you must live the sermon too.

For I may misunderstand you and the high advice you give,

But there’s no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.
