WE CANNOT TELL

The seed we have sown with an earnest WILL
Though among the thorns II fell
A harvest may bring for the reaper's hand:
The result We cannot tell.
A song we have sung with a happy heart,
Though unheeded the time
May be on some tablet of memory writ,
And its power may be sublime.
a word we have spoken in tenderness,
Or a deed performed in love,
Prolific may be in the future years,
When the author rests above.
We never may know while we labor here
What the fruits of toll may be,
But when shall stand on the golden heights
Wen the gathered harvest see
