DO THY L,rrLw.

Do thy little; God has made
Million leaves for forest shade;
Smallest stars that glory bring
God employeth everything.
Then the little thou hast done
Little battles thou hast won,
Little masteries achieved,
Little wants with care relieved,
Little words in love expressed,
Little wrongs at once confessed,
Little fayors kindly done,
Little tolls thou did'st not shun,
Little traces meekly worn,
Little sights with patience borne
These shall crown thy pillowed head,
Holy light upon thee shed;
These are treasures that shall rise
Far beyond the smiling skies.
