OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Over AMI over again,
No matter which way turn,
IalwaYs find in the Book Of Life,
Some lessons l have TO learn.

1 must work at my task with resoluto will
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
OF even the tiniest d)wer,
Nor check the flow of the golden saals
That run through q single hour.
Bat the morning dew must fall;
And the sun and tie summer rain
Must do their part a,,l perform it all
Over and over again.
Over and over again
The brook. k..through the meadow flows,
And over and over again
The ponderot.s nal wheel gees;
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain;
Aud blessing, falling US once or twice,
Nay come if we try again.
The path that has once been trod
Is never so rough to our feet;
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never 50 hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
And the heart to lis depth be riven
With storm and tempest, we need them all
To render us meet for Heaven.
