SOWING AND REAPING.


Ever SO little the seed may be,
Ever SO little the hand,
But when it is sown It must grow. you see,
And develope It's nature, weed, flower or tree
The sunshine, the air and the dew are free
At its command
If the seed be good, we rejoice in hope
OF the harvest 1t will yield.
We wait and watch for its springing up,
Admire its growth. and count on the crop
That will come from. the little seeds we drop
In the great wide field.
But If we heedlessly scatter wide
Seeds we may happen to find
We care not for culture or what may betide,
We SOW here and there on the highway side
Whether they've lived or whether they've died
We never mind.
Yet every sower must one day reap
Fruit from the seed he has sown:
How carefully then 1t becomes us to keep
watehful eye on the seed and seek
To sow what is good, that we may not weep
To receive our own.

Weary of Waiting.

I'm weary of watching and waiting
For my long cherished JOY to come;
Yet full well know that each evening
But heralds the set of sun
Which sometime will burst in full rapture
On me and the joy that is mine,
And when my heart thinks of that moment,
1t throbs with delight that's divine!
Still am SO weary of waiting
Is this life made up of hard things2
know that the buds wait for summer.
And the swallows wait for their wings.
The sea ever rolling and tossing,
So eager to dash on the shore,
Must wait till each far reaching billow
Brakes Just where its mate broke before.
Tell me of what use are these vigils
Which embitter far more than bless?
And why is tear hot and shining
Oft mixed with loving caress?
Is life one long round of dark shadows
Which come when we want them the least,
And haunt us like scent of the cyprus
We take to funeral feast?
All! dear child whose eyes are unclosing
Amazed on our strange little world,
Your wings like the swallows are waiting
Their chances to become unfurled.
And when they have grown bit stronger,
And able to bear you in flight,
What now is SO puzzling and painful,
Will then stand out clearly and bright.
This life is a picture, my darling,
From cradle-bed down to grave-sod;
And wonderful is its progression,
Because it is painted by God.
And these fitting shadows, dear child-heart,
Are chambers of rest where we wait
Until we can bear the warm sunshine,
Which will be ours sooner or late.
So do not grow weary of waiting,
Or grieve over watching so long;
Remember the robin and swallow,
Must wait for the fulness of song!
Then cultivate patience, my darling,
And when you've unfolded your wings,
You'll find that the discipline passed through,
Has helped you to bear greater things.
