A traveller through q dusty road,
StreWed acorns DER the lea,
And one took root, and spr0uted up,
And grew into tree;
Love Oought its shade At evening times
To breathe its early vows,
And age was pleased, in heats Of noon,
To bask beneath its b0ughS
The dormouse loved its dangling tWigs,
The birds sweet music bore,
It stood q glory in its place,
A blessing evermore
A little spring had lost its way
Among the grass and fern;
A passing stranger SeOoped WE'LL
Where weary men might turn;
He walled it in, an hung with care
ladle at the brink
He though. not Of the deed he did,
But Judged that toll might drink.
He passed Again-and 10 the well,
BY summers never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues
And saved life beside!
A dreamer dropped random thought;
Twas old. and yet twas new
A simple fancy Of the brain,
but strong in being true
1t shooe upon genial mind,
And 10 its light became
A lamp of life, q beacon ray,
AmOnitOry fame.
The thought was small-itS issue great;
A watch fTe on the hull,
1t sheds ite radiance far adown,
And Sh6ers the valley still!
A nameleSs man amid Q crowd,
That thrOnged the daily mart,
Let fall the word Of hope and love,
IJnstudied from the heart;
A Whisper on the tuInult thrown '.'-
transitory breath
1t raised q brother from the duet,
1t saved q soul from death.
o germ :. q fouRb ! u word Of love!
D thought at random cast
YeweTg but tits.r =. The AEst1 --
But mighty at the last.
