OPTIMISM.
(.Sent i" by Doreen Stubba, Tiuopal, North Auckland.)
There was never a sunbeam lost, and never a. drop of rain; There was never a carol sweet that was sting, and snug in vain. There was never a noble thought, but through endless years it lives; And never a blacksmith's blow, but an endless use it gives. There was never a child's full laugh, or a woman's cheerful wold. That did not exalt the State where its tones were felt and heard. Know, then, that it still holds true, from the skies to the humblest soil, That there is no wasted love, and there is no wasted toil. —Copied.
