4 little love, little cheerfulness.

A little heartening In the battles stress,
A little singing at the close Of day
And oh! this life is not all cold and gray,
But sweet with comfort and with sunshine

These little things In sight.
A little hope, q little faith serene,
A little word Of strength for those who fall,
A little smiling, tho tears come between,
little charity II need should call
And oh! not paitry is our life. nor small,
But big and flne and filled with sweet delight,
II that we keep, each for the sake Of ALL
These little things in sight.
