SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL Grace McCowan Cook How shall I see no evil? As the sun on the filthy pool divining Naught but the glow of its own clean shining So shall you see no evil? How shall I hear no evil? As the lark in the blue, toward heaven wining Hears only the sound of its clear singing, So shall you hear no evil. How shall I speak no evil? "As thyself, thy neighbour" such loving kindness, Will bring the holy deafness and blindness— And dumbness—to speak no evil.
