  • Artist Info: Like the Solomon of fowl<br />
    Sat a wise old owl<br />
    Perched in a Sycamore tree,<br />
    While the moonlight glimmered<br />
    And the starlight shimmered,<br />
    These words he spoke to me:<br />
    <br />
    "I guess you've heard<br />
    I'm a wise old bird,<br />
    And if wisdom you would find...<br />
    Always look for the best<br />
    And your life will be blest,<br />
    To all others' faults be blind.<br />
    <br />
    "In this life, I know<br />
    You will find it so<br />
    That if you think kindly of others,<br />
    You'll soon find that it's true<br />
    They'll think kindly of you...<br />
    Praise your sisters and your brothers!"<br />
    <br />
    You may think me a fool - <br />
    Owls don't talk, as a rule,<br />
    But in solemn tone he said:<br />
    "Don't be quick to enact<br />
    Words you'll wish to retract,<br />
    Dwell upon the good instead!"<br />
    <br />
    Though I hate to admit it,<br />
    I could see, once I did it,<br />
    What that wise owl said was true.<br />
    Your faults I'll overlook<br />
    'Cause it says in The Book<br />
    What you sow comes back to you!<br />
    <br />
    Now, if you will agree<br />
    With what he said to me,<br />
    Then my faults you will ignore...<br />
    Like that sage bird said<br />
    We'll both come out ahead<br />
    If we judge less, and praise more!
