The Better Way by Edgar A. Guest (1881-1959)
I'd rather see a sermon
The eye's a better pupil,
The best of all the preachers
I can soon learn how you do it,
And the lectures you deliver
For I may misunderstand you,
Than hear one any day;
I'd rather one should walk with meThan merely show the way.
The eye's a better pupil,
And more willing than the ear;
Fine counsel is confusing,But example's always clear.
The best of all the preachers
Are the men who live their creeds,
For to see good put in action,Is what everybody needs.
I can soon learn how you do it,
If you let me see it done;
I can watch your hands in action,But your tongue too fast may run.
And the lectures you deliver
May be very wise and true;
But I'd rather get my lesson,By observing what you do,
For I may misunderstand you,
And the high advice you give,
But there's no misunderstandingHow you act and how you live.
