There's one sad truth in life I've found
There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Wisconsin, EEUU, 1850 - Connecticut, 1919). Poeta y periodista.
