WHAT MAKES A DAY.
If we sit down at set of sun, And count the things that we havo done, And counting, find * One self-denying act, one word, That cased the heart of him who heard; One glance most kind That fell like sunshine where it went, Then we can count that day well spent.
But if, through all the lifelong day, We've eased no heart by yea or nay; If, through it all, We've done no thing that we can trace, That brought the sunshine to a faco; No act, most small, That helped some soul, and nothing cost, Then count that day as worse than lost.
