sThe sowsr Went Forth to Sow.
For the SUNDAY sentinel.l


That seed shall bring forth nothing but it's
kind,
And if the borders of thy path are day
With weeds most foul, and thorns to tear thy
feet,
Remember, it is but fruition meet.
Iffrom the enemy the seeds Of tares and thorns
Fill both thy busy hands in life's fair morn,
A hundred fold shalt thou at evenin reap,
And otue.s, after thou shalt fall asleep,
Shall harder labor in their pathway find,
Because of weeds which thou hast left behind.
But being sure the seeds from Him who
ne'er
A single weed among his wheat will spare,
Then SOW, from early dawn to dewy eve;
Nor pause till He who sent shall give thee
leave,
Not though the early bird shall warble sweet,
And fragrant field flowers blossom at thy feet.
Though murmuring stream, and gently float
ing cloud,
And all the voices of the morning call aloud,
And thousand beauties clustering round thee
ask
Thy soul to leave its Heaven appointed task.
| Yet fail not in thy sowing; this may be
The place where largest harvest thou shalt see.
And when the noontide heat shall o'er thee
burn,
And all thy strength to feebleneSs shall turn;
| Then rest a little meath the rocks cool shade,
The Owner of the field has this provision
made,
And of the fountain drink, which from it
| flows.
Who framed thee from the dust thy weak
| ness knows.
But, thus refreshed, thy labor quick resume
Most fruitful seed mayhap is sown at noon.
| When from dark western woods long shadows
creep
Across the fallow fields thy feet to meet,
| Still pause not, till the night shall give thee
| rest.
| OF all thy work this hours may be thy best.
