HOW TO COUNT.
If we sit down at set of sun And count the things that we have done, And, counting, find One self-denying act. one word That eased the heart of him who heard, One glance most kind. That fell like sunshine where it went, Then we may count the day well spent. But if, through all the livelong day. We've eased no heart by yea or nay; If, through it all, We've done no thing that we can trace As bringing sunshine to a face; No act most small. That helped some soul, and nothing costThen count that day as worse than lost. —Selected.
