OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Over and over again,
No matter which way turn,
l always find in the Book of Life
Some Lesson I have to learn.
Imust take my turn at the mill,
l must grind out the golden grain,
I must work at my task with resoluts will
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
Of even the tinest flower,
Nor check the flow of the golden sands
That run through a single hour.
But the morning VS. must fall,
And the sun and summer rain
Must do their part, and perform 1t all
Over and over again.
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows,
And Sver and over again
The ponderous mill-wheel goes.
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain;
And blessing, failing us once or twice,
May come if We try again.
The path that has once been trod
Is never so rough to the feet
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never SO hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
And the heart to its depths be driven
With storm and tempest, we need them all
To render us meet for Heaven.
