El poema habla sobre hablar con gentileza. Enseña que es mejor gobernar por amor que por miedo, y que debemos hablar con suavidad a los niños, ancianos y a todos, porque nuestras palabras pueden afectarlos por la eternidad.

To rule by love than fear, Speak gently; let no harsh word mar The good we may do here.
Speak gently to the little child;
It’s love be sure to gain; Teach it in accents soft and mild, It may not long remain.
Speak gently to the aged one;
Grieve not the care-worn heart, Whose sands of life are nearly run; Let such in peace depart.
Speak gently; it’s a little thing
