little stream had lost its way

A little stream had lost it's way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped a well,
Where weary men might turn;
he walled 1t in, and hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that all might drink
He passed again, and 10! the well,
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parchine
tongues,
And saved life beside
A Eameless man, amid a crowd
That thronged the daily mart
Let fall word of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
transitory breath
1t raised a brother from the dust,
1t saved soul from death.
Q germ! . founti o word of love!
o thought at random cast!

But mighty at the last.
