Poem for the Day

Three crosses of gold

"Three Gates of Gold"

LET every thought thy lips would utter pass three gates of gold,—

But, if through these it fails to pass, then let it not be told;

And o’er each gate in silver letters written thou wilt find.

Above the first one, “Is it true?” the second, “Is it kind ?“

And “Is it necessary?” o’er the third one and the last.

Then guard thy thoughts, let none escape, save those

these gates have passed!
